You Can Heal Your Life by Louise L. Hay
2.0
She had some good points, and although I do believe mental health affects physical health and that we are more powerful that we realize, she took it to too much of an extreme for me. At times it felt like she was gaslighting anyone with a disease or any type of physical issue (apparently gray hair is one). I don’t believe we create physical problems with our thought patterns, I think our attitude can help or hurt us but there are also environmental, societal, political and genetic/biological factors outside of our control as well. I found myself skimming over a lot of the book as it felt dismissive of people’s experiences and struggles and a bit like a guilt trip especially as someone who was recently diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. The affirmations in general were nice but I was disappointed with this book.
