What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Conveyed through personalized psychological insights, [Discomfortable] pairs its topical explorations of shame with tender, funny revelations, resulting in an approachable, earnest guidebook to living a more authentic life.”
—Foreword Reviews
“Being able to handle shame is a superpower. I recommend this book to anyone that wants to feel bolder, genuinely free, and empowered.”
—Liv Larsson, author of Anger, Guilt and Shame and Nonviolent Communication trainer and mediator
“Bond writes beautifully about his personal journey of self-discovery and growth and sheds much light on the universal experience of shame as ‘emotional kryptonite.’”
—Sheila Rubin and Bret Lyon, cofounders and codirectors of the Center for Healing Shame
“A.J. Bond’s almost obsessive focus on seeing the world through the lens of shame provides many fascinating insights into both the obvious and hidden role that shame plays in our culture and individual lives. His book is a wonderful balance of autobiographical sharing interwoven with summaries of the academic influences that have helped him understand and heal from his own lifelong relationship to shame. A captivating and intriguing read for anyone dealing with the lingering effects of chronic shame in their life.”
—Dr. Douglas J Tataryn, originator of the Bio-Emotive Framework
