I enjoyed this book until I realized...this book is like so much other books. Where it's black and white thinking.
And I realized I can't read this.
As someone who has done what this book is talking (in the past, mostly) and someone who deals with depression, I agree with most of what this book is talking about. But the downfall of this book is not being inclusive and only talking about men and women.
And it drives me bonkers. It's not just this book its everything in society and I wish more people just made an effort to broaden their minds with inclusivity.
And I am not say to remove men and women I'm saying to include and recognize that there are more genders out their then the sex of a person. And many more genders out there who are suffering from this topic than just "men and women".
Besides that also it has outdated terms such as, "Asperger’s syndrome" which was retired in 2013 as an official diagnosis. But than again, this book was written in 2010.
