Glow in the F*cking Dark
Glow in the F*cking Dark: Simple practices to heal your soul, from someone who learned the hard way | Tara Schuster
2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
THIS BOOK IS FOR ANYONE WHO IS TIRED, HURTING AND FEELING LIKE THEIR ESSENTIAL BRIGHTNESS HAS GONE. IT'S FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE READY TO GLOW IN THE F*CKING DARK. The author of the runaway hit Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies shares honest and practical lessons for healing your past and owning your future so you can radiate strength, bravery and joy when life gets dark. Tara Schuster thought she was on stable ground. For years, she'd worked like hell to repair the emotional wounds inflicted during what she refers to as her "mess-wreck disaster" of a childhood. She'd brought radical healing rituals and self-love into her life. On most days, she was a happy, stable adult. But then she lost her job, the one on which she had staked her entire identity. Cue a panic-attack-doom-spiral that brought her harshest childhood traumas to the surface. Isolated at home during a global pandemic, she felt piercing loneliness and a lack of purpose like she had never known. Finally, after experiencing a terrifying dissociative episode while driving down the highway, she realized that enough was enough; she needed to slow down and pull over-literally. It was time for Tara to stop the hustling and to reclaim her essential, free and loving self. Glow in the F*cking Dark is full of practical, achievable baby steps that we can take today. It's a guide to healing your deepest soul wounds, getting off your 'good enough' plateau, developing habits that will give you lasting courage, discovering your purpose and creating the spectacular life that you actually want. Tara clawed her way out of the darkness and recovered her shine, and in this book, she shows how to: * recognize trauma reactions and choose new ways to respond * find what's really under your anxiety * repair your relationship with your body * find solace and purpose in something bigger than yourself

I read Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies and absolutely loved it. This one however was a challenge and unfortunately a DNF. Only because it dealt with issues I have not experienced. It‘s kind of a self help book but not really if that makes sense. Maybe I‘ll pick it up again later but for now.. no thanks

⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was… fine. Follow up to “Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies, which I really liked. Point was that after a lot of therapy she hit a plateau and realized she had more work to do. What I remember was a lot of stories of questionable dating decisions and her mother being a total monster. Less actionable than the first book, and I found the tone of some of it (writing and the narration) sort of immature and off-putting (probably a me issue).

JamieArc That‘s too bad. I really liked her first one too. 5mo
fredthemoose @JamieArc I‘m sure it will hit a lot better for a lot of other people, but it was a bit of a miss for me. Totally worth checking out if you liked the first one. 5mo
