Never take book recommendations from an HR manager.
1 star
Here's a lot of what I gained from it:
-
This book spends a lot of time victim-blaming people who are suffering from genuine abuse;
-
This book gaslights people who are struggling with similar situations, and it encourages gaslighting them in favour of sympathising with their abuser;
-
It definitely stigmatises depression (and other mental illnesses, but definitely depression);
-
It perpetuates a ridiculous notion that privileged Europeans need to 'take time off' to vacation in an under-developed country in order to 'find themselves' so that they're less abusive;
-
It excuses inexcusable behaviours by powerful people as things that their victims should sympathise with, even though there are people who have been in far worse scenarios than infertility.
