I am a wild over-thinker which truly gets in the way of my daily life. Maybe that‘s why I found this book so helpful. I listened to it and found myself agreeing with almost everything the author explained. I do believe I will live a better & happier life if I apply his advice. I specially love the fact that he has a whole section with explicit practice exercises.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Look at fat phobia from a formerly/“small” fat philosopher. The moral philosophy about what we “owe” others in society was interesting, but a lot of the stuff about issues fat people face in society has been covered better by others, like Aubrey Gordon. Her conviction about abandoning diet culture fell a little flat considering she recently lost 60 lbs. and is in a smaller body, and the coverage of GLP-1s seemed hastily tacked on to the end
