Untangling You

Kerry Howells · 2021
82/100
👍 Worth It

Kerry Howells does something genuinely unusual here: instead of another book telling you to be grateful, she starts with resentment — the thing blocking gratitude — and works backward. Twenty-five years of academic research backs up what feels like a fresh and honest approach. Two international awards and a TEDx platform suggest the ideas hold up beyond the author's own circle.
