| Summary |
Dooner blends memoir and blistering social observation as she reflects on her desperate attempts to use extreme diets and culty self-help methods to cures her hunger, anxiety, and imperfections. She takes a good look at the dark side of self-help, and the never-ending self-improvement projects that can in themselves be a recipe for burnout. Instead, Dooner encourages readers to say no to the things that drain us, and carve out our own time to slow down, feel okay about doing less, and honor our humanity. -- adapted from jacket |
