Unless you’re a raging narcissist who was no empathy for trauma, this book is laughable nihilism. Don’t read this.

This book teaches us to come out of denial and appreciate our emotions for what they are: a part of us. Sounds simple, but it's far from it.

More parents need to read this before choosing to be parents. It touches on everything from day-to-day cruelties many parents might commit unknowingly, to severe abuse.

Most of the subjects here are males with abusive moms, and it glosses over abusive behavior by fathers, including physical abuse. So, it's a little less universal than the title implies. However, it's good that people are starting to talk about emotional abuse. Hopefully, in time, more diverse perspectives will contribute to the discussion.

It's sad to hear how amazingly radical Gloria Steinem used to be, knowing that she later became a slut-shaming, victim-blaming hypocrite.

There were some genuinely interesting parts of this book, and the author has clearly done his homework. But he indulges his desire to elaborate and add unnecessary qualifiers, to the point of undermining the impact of his work.
