Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

A tiresome, lecture-y, scolding screed by a young woman who has a rather limited view of life and why some of us struggle with lif differently than she has. Think your way to happiness! Stop "feeling sorry for yourself"! Pish-tosh, get a move-on! Long-term depression, the effects of trauma and abuse on brain chemistry, the effects of sex, race, and poverty on those at the bottom of the privilege pile - this therapist is strangely silent on the real science that affects people's moods and mindsets. She willed her way to happiness; here's how you can, too, you Gloomy Gus! She even throws in a fake story about a guy who eats a dozen donuts every single day and then can't imagine why he doesn't make progress in his fitness regimen. Who even does this? Nobody, that's who. The author just wanted to create a pity-partying, cliché-riddled strawman to prove her point that people are to blame for their own unhappiness. I regret spending my Amazon settlement credit on this shallow, hackneyed, narcissistic exercise.
