The Mountain Is You by Brianna Wiest

3.0
Overall: inspiring, reflective and thought provoking. I didn’t resonate with this as much as I did with 101 Essays and at times I had to force myself to continue reading.
Wiests’ style of writing is blunt and declarative, at times naive — parts that didn’t resonate definitely created friction in the reading process.
Unfortunately, like many other self help -books, this book used fat phobic and diet culture-y narratives as one of the examples of ”self-sabotage”.
However, I highlighted and tabbed a lot of inspiring and important parts; on the whole a ”worth it” read.
