I am currently reading this book for the 2nd time around. I finished it for the first time in September before heading out on a solo trip to Peru. The book is about shame and vulnerability and how each one of us interpret it and thus how it can affect our lives. The main takeaway from the book is that none of us are alone in what we feel. Feeling shame and fear is very human and the more we face it the less we let it control our lives. I felt very free after reading this book and it also taught be that shaming others does nothing good, ever. We must accept each other for who we are and set boundaries to what we will allow. Self love and self worth are the root of all that makes us happy!
