Product Information

I like that she’s not just chanting in your ears to love yourself. Although it is mostly about self-love and the understanding/acceptance of one’s self, she presented it as the state of being at home with yourself/building a home within yourself and I really like that idea. I thought I would be bored and get too skeptical (as I usually do with self-help books) and eventually give up on the book but surprisingly I finished it. Some concepts in the book, though might be fairly familiar to others, were somehow foreign to me and I can say that I was surprised I didn’t think of things in this way my whole life. There were times when I was just reading nonchalantly and some sentences just sent tears to my eyes like… bro… that is so true??

I did not detect that kind of tone when I was reading this one. When I read this I felt heard, calm and understood, and that kept me reading on.
