Immature, poorly written and full of empty advice

Revisado: 07-05-21

As an experienced psychotherapist completing a PhD in adult attachment, I found this book is painful to read. I forced myself to finish it but the poor writing, limited understanding of the deeper nuances of attachment, and avalanche of poor and trite advice was painful. The book is full of empty, obvious, and relatively oblivious suggestions for couple connection and healing— many of these suggestions lack depth and consideration of context and come across as judgmental, shallow, and harmful. I do not recommend this for personal or academic reading... there are much richer texts available that acknowledge the nuances of human relationships and the complexity of healing from early trauma/attachment disruption. The book also appears to be narrated by Siri? Yikes. People seeking help for attachment issues or seeking a deeper understanding of human relationships deserve better.

This take on racism is unhelpful

Revisado: 07-02-20

Disappointing— little real feedback on how to move forward — obsessive accusatory text that will undoubtably shut down deeper conversations about race and how to move forward to a more inclusive, equitable and just world. Looking forward to hearing some other voices on modern anti racism philosophy.... hoping we can actually get some reflection and forward momentum here.

Not my favorite...

Revisado: 11-15-18

Story needed more depth— the characters were underdeveloped and I found it hard to connect with the ramblings of this group of unremarkable teens. Story itself was a little random and melodramatic. Not my cup of tea.

Lack of depth

Revisado: 04-24-18

Interesting events but poor character development — seemed a bit superficial with no real message or meaning

Lacking depth

Revisado: 03-23-18

Characters were underdeveloped and storyline was underwhelming for the grand gestures in the novel. Was waiting for a spark the entire time that never came.

As a therapist in the field of trauma not finding this that helpful

Revisado: 03-10-18

This books seems self congratulatory and the information is diluted with author personal commentary that makes it annoying — I realized I downloaded this book twice and then returned it because I found it so off putting

Also the author writes like someone who doesn’t personally understand trauma and speaks in absolutes when he only has once piece of the puzzle. I don’t like how he continues to tell the reader to bring his book to therapy (literally says this like 10 times) as if he’s the only one who can help; it seems self promoting and unhelpful. He’s obviously bright and well established, but his commentary undermines any solid content that might actually help people
