You're Not Enough (and That's Ok): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love by Allie Beth Stuckey

challenging emotional reflective medium-paced

5.0

It's not found in ourselves. We are not enough, and we were never meant to be. That's good news.

Stuckey's pink, cutesy-looking, convicting memoir cuts deep to the heart. In her 2020 memoir, she delves into the self-love movement's lies and separates them from the half-truths and inconsistencies that have crept into "cute signs on a coffee mug" Christianity. In her self-help book, she tells us that we aren't enough, we don't deserve our dreams, and we're not entitled to anything in an empathetic, refreshing way, drawing her perspective from her struggles of addiction and attempts at fleeting self-love.

You're Not Enough (And That's Okay): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love is a self-help book that advises Christians on the advice that we should already know -- God is enough for us, not us. When we take the focus off ourselves, we can enjoy others and life more in the comfort of God's designated will. Stuckey's book is self-helpful because we learn to look up at the One who can truly help us beyond any other lie.
