I tend to read books very, very quickly - one or two days, usually. So the fact that this one took me over 2 months to get through is really saying something. I found it to be so important at this time in my life that I wanted to make sure I read every word as carefully as possible so I wouldn't miss anything. If you're going through a big internal change right now, I can't recommend this enough.

This book was a most therapeutic read during a difficult time in my life. For anyone battling depression, I highly recommend this book as a non-sensational, authentic, sober approach to dealing effectively with depression.

I like this book. It has parts that make it more of a women's book than universal (and definitely not a guys book). It is a good companion to Richard Rohr's Falling Upward (Rohr seems to often write for men, so perhaps his book is at the opposite end of that spectrum).

Kidd is able to weave together complicated ideas with common everyday (or at least seasonal) experiences like the caterpillar molting. I really appreciate her story telling and candor.
