Critics Review
A very useful addition to the plethora of books written about psychological development … highly accessible
The best book I’ve read this year … It’s written in such a beautiful way. Her writing is so warm and vibrant and it really draws you in. She’s very nuanced with this - there’s no blame or judgement here. It’s information about how our early life experience can shape us but also the limitations of that and how other factors are at play as well. It’s absolutely fascinating, I can’t put it down and I recommend that you all read it as well - Book Shambles podcast
