this book is comforting and has some empowering perspectives . However there are sections in the book that are a bit pseudo-sciency and felt like convenient generalizations. For instance, she talks about how ‘if you hate something, that is a projection of your fears and anxieties about yourself. so if you hate a unequipped politician, that is actually you projecting about your fears of being under qualified. because if you actually just hated that person, you would simply disengage’. I thought this take by Brianna to be absurd. Can’t I loathe an under qualified or irresponsible politician because their decisions affect me and my community ? It is such a generalization to assume that I dislike and vocalize my distaste to bad politician because that is a projection of my fears about inadequacy. All to say, there are sections of this book that are non-sense.
