Sure, if you can overcome your fears and ideals and go live your best life by choice, do it! But there are people with real disorders, such as OCD, or PTSD for example that can't 'just do it', because to them, it feels as though just doing it is going to cause a chain reaction of bad events.ģ) This book also is big on forgiveness, and the ideal that people do their best. This is a severe source of anxiety for me every day, and I will fight this toxic statement until the day I die.Ģ) This book is of the idea that 'you should just do it!', or, in other words, that changing is simply decision-making. I was hoping the book would be full of the incredible amount of love and positivity that Jeffrey exhibits online.ġ) This book perpetuates the incredibly toxic idea that to love someone else, you must first fall in love with yourself. My fiance is trans-nonbinary, and I'm transgender. I got this book because Jeffrey is nonbinary. I adore Jeffrey Marsh, I follow them on Twitter and their content is nothing short of inspiring and amazing.
