I really enjoyed Glennon's world view. She came across as honest, self aware, and having a willingness for humanity that I see far too infrequently. She doesn't shy away from admitting her flaws (her history with eating disorders, drugs, alcoholism, failures as a parent,etc) but she is still first and foremost a motivational speaker. So everything is told through a lens of inspiration and learning from those flaws. Its a very solid half memoir and half self help. Again, she is very heavy on the inspirational stuff and she discusses her journey with religion/spirituality. That's not gonna be for everyone, so don't bother if you're gonna get annoyed by those things. It was a lovely read but did feel a little long winded and repetitive in parts.
