Comforting & Calming

I’ve been through several crises in my life. And when they‘ve happened I always searched for books that will not only provide wisdom and tools for how not to throw yourself out of a window, but ones that really capture the nature of a crisis: the shock that you’re actually going through what you’re going through, and the questioning of whether you’ll be able to handle it and ultimately survive it. This book did that for me. It met me exactly where I was, and that alone made the purchase worth it.
