About this title

Synopsis

“In the end, this book, like the author, leads with compassion and a healthy dose of reality. It doesn’t offer gimmicks, hacks, or easy fixes. It’s a playbook that understands how the human mind works–in all of its complexity and tendency toward survival, and sometimes self-sabotage―so we can work with it instead of against it.” ―Pilar Guzmán, Editorial Director of Oprah Daily
