This book is literally for everyone. Mark Manson has made an impact on sharing his knowledge about grasping reality. He doesn’t sugar coat topics but rather hits them head on. This book helps all who read it feel empowered to tackle the uncertainties of life with confidence.

Similar to Pete Walker’s book, this book is for those individuals who had adverse childhood experiences such as divorce, abuse, mental illness, etc. I recommend this book because it is a true workbook that allows individuals to begin or expand on their healing journey at home.
