The Mountain Is You: Transforming Self-Sabotage Into Self-Mastery by Brianna Wiest
Did not finish book. Stopped at 2%.
In the prologue, they literally said to kill our younger selves who can no longer carry us in order to become more agile with our skills. This has too much in common with conversion torture rhetoric I outlived.
Also as one of the specified problems this book says it's for is "weight" which comes off as fatphobic to me, and focusing more on the symptom than the problem of eating disorders. Considering that sort of shit, I think this is a bad book even if they're also going for addicts as an audience. Seriously this book regurgitates the sorts of rock bottom rhetoric that let's so many people die (black coats). This book seeks to be more along the white coats but works with rhetoric that supports the blue coats. So it's bullshit.
It used a pro-indigenous knowledge fun fact about forest fires and seeds, but then doesn't explain why the borders are fertile nor nothing. Seems more like a willpower can stop a rainstorm bullshit with the occasional window dressing to disarm people.
