Life Inside My Mind: 31 Authors Share Their Personal Struggles by Robison Wells, Maureen Johnson
5.0
This was an amazing way to share and normalize stories about people living with mental health diagnoses. I have worked in the field for a long time and it was still such an eye opener for me. More people need to read this book.
I have 2 critics to help improve a future project:
1. I understand that mental illness is different for everyone but I would have liked a little more variety in the diagnoses. I feel like the majority revolved around anxiety and depression.
2. I did a quick google search on all of the contributors and there was not one person of color included in the list. One person identified as Latinx and one stated he was born in Mexico but that's it. This is a BIG missed opportunity.
