I don’t even remember how I first stumbled onto Amy Morin, but her life story pulled me in—and it ended up being the reason I read two of her books.
This one is easy to read in the best way: it doesn’t drag, and it doesn’t feel like it’s trying to impress you. But what surprised me is how a few ideas stayed in my head long after I finished, even months later.
The one that kept echoing was the part about victim mindset—how easily it gets trained into a child when adults mean well, and how sticky it becomes once it’s there. That section didn’t just feel like “parenting advice”; it felt like a mirror for grown-ups too.
Overall, I genuinely enjoyed it: simple structure, readable tone, and a few points that actually linger.
