Rubi's Reviews > You Are Enough: Heartbreak, Healing, and Becoming Whole

Book about self worth

This book touches on self esteem/self worth. How sometimes we don't feel like we're enough, and that sometimes others make us feel so. It also touched on depression that stems from that.....
But the author gives some advice and life experiences to help. That it's OK to feel angry and hurt and to question things. But to not let it get the best of us.
That if we feel SO low we don't feel like living to seek help.
It was some pretty solid advice and was more in depth than I thought it'd be, especially when it came to talking about romantic relationships and placing our value on what our partner feels for us.
We can't do that. Nobody can or should make us feel worthy, we already are.
The one thing I deeply disagree with author on is that.... "we can save ourselves". Yes, we are enough, but not enough to save ourselves. We do need God.
We can't expect Him to do all the work, yes, we have to try but we do need Him. Its a partnership, just as in romantic relationships. With God's help we can overcome anything.
She has a point though. When someone is upset or sad, that isn't the time to be preachy. It's a time to let them vent and feel.
Solid 4 star read for me 👍
