Nothing new here

Revisado: 01-06-25

Too repetitive and she uses the term "let them "over and over again until I found it irritating. There's nothing new in this book. It's just common sense and I've heard it all before. I also found it a bit manipulative that she called herself my friend. The "let them theory "is overblown, oversimplified, and quite frankly branding at its most, obvious. Also, she gets a little cringey with some of her personal stories which go on and on and on and concern mostly people in her age group and demographic. On a personal level, I can't relate to her stories because I'm of a different generation. I don't understand why everyone is so enthused about this book. It's very commercial and
uninspiring, at least for me.

The music was terrible

Revisado: 02-07-24

Music was so distracting and awful that sometimes I couldn’t even hear what he was saying or concentrate on the message.

Great philosophy

I found this book very inspiring, and I keep it on hand. The narration was a little iffy, but the rest of the book was great.

Too biblical

Revisado: 07-28-23

I have no quarrel with anyone’s religion, but this author uses Bible quotes like a sledgehammer. Unfortunately it’s difficult to sift through all of the Christian precepts (for example, the father should be the head of the family, which I found antiquated and out of touch with the real world). There were a few good perspectives and thoughts but they were drowned out by all the Bible quotes and Christian beliefs. I would like a refund, but I don’t know how to go about getting one. The author was well-meaning, but I couldn’t get past all the religious quotes and Commandments.

Nothing New Here

Revisado: 07-19-23

The narration was cold and mechanical, and her voice was irritating. Information was chock-full of terminology that most of us are now familiar with and the coping suggestions were run-of-the-mill.

Disappointing

Revisado: 02-22-23

Well, Brandi Carlile is a good writer, a good songwriter, and an interesting person, I lost interest in this book after the third chapter. The music was distracting, and I did not like it, even though I am a fan of her music. Some of the stories about her childhood and beyond were a little boring,

Love this book!

Revisado: 05-10-21

This book helped me more than any other book on the subject of estrangement and alienation. The author doesn't share most of her personal story, but, one thing I know is that while everyone's story differs, the emotional wreckage of estrangement is universal. I liked the inspiring quotes throughout which was a nice touch. The author has a soothing, compassionate voice and the writing is very nice and refreshing in its honesty and brevity, which packed a punch. I keep it on hand for those weak moments when I need a helping hand.
