Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself by Kristin Neff
3.0
Definitely helps you look at yourself in a different light. Very uplifting and gives lots of activities to do to follow along. Challenging but totally worth it.
The One You Love by Paul Pilkington
2.0
Free book that had me at the first few chapters. I couldn't connect to any characters which is important to me. It was just not as developed as I'd have liked. I couldn't get on board with the ever changing and ever confusing plot twists. It just wasn't all that entertaining for me.
The Horse Boy: A Father's Quest to Heal His Son by Rupert Isaacson

"Rupert Isaacson has conjured a nonfiction journey that reads like an epic novel"
The storytelling was quite marvelous. I can relate to feeling inadequate and having worries of how your autistic son will grow. You have endless worries and fears, amazingly so this story was one of pure strength. I enjoyed the story and commend him for following his heart. I was enthralled by the writing and enjoyed his vivid imagery, i felt as though i was along for the ride.

It's amazing how reading a childhood book later in life can show how imagination changes. I realized as a child, I had a completely different vision than I do now. Obviously it's expected. I found the language to show advanced I was at reading I was. happy reading for other children.
