challenging dark emotional informative medium-paced

4.0

Really enlightening book, even though it's over 20 years old now I feel like it was still the first time I've heard most of the ideas presented. I think I definitely read it at the right time in my life, I've only recently listened to my body saying 'no' and hopefully I can now take on some of the advice from this book.
