About this ebook
This book is like a hug from a friend when you need it most: It's both a reminder that it's normal to feel things deeply and a companion for actually feeling better. With tons of empathy and a touch of humor, artist Carissa Potter offers wisdom on how to move through difficult emotions with practical steps to kick-start the process—ranging from soaking in a tub and having a good cry to talking to houseplants or hosting a private dance party. Illustrated in a vibrant eye-catching palette, this boldly authentic book is full of genuine support for pushing through life's tough times or whenever a little love is needed.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Short warm book. I think it's better if you read it while feeling something deeply (particularly sadness). It does feel a bit like a list of things to do when you feel bad. I was expecting something more about feeling things deeply. The drawings and colors are really nice.
