4.5
This book argues (correctly in my opinion) that we need to make more space for the low points in our lives. To truly and unapologetically withdraw within ourselves in order to weather grief and depression is needed. We need to accept this need not only as individuals, but as a society as a whole.
I read this while in my own winter that I was actively fighting. While I feel she went on tangents now and then, she was good about bringing each story back around by the end of each chapter.
I definitely recommend this book. For me, it not only helped me make space for my much needed winter, it also helped me not feel so alone in my struggles.
