The best things said about it
Everything you learned in that book is also kind of a roadmap for what not to do.
One of the things that I found as I was reading your book and as the team here at 143 Studios and I were just pouring over your work is just how validating everything that you write is.
That's one of the liberating things about your book is you just keep coming back to this point that the point isn't about shaming and blaming and all that stuff.
You have so many helpful quizzes in the book and I want to read some of them because I think that these questions, if you're somebody who's never considered this in yourself or in your parent or in your own experience, it's liberating.
