A wise and often hilarious exploration of the conflicts between spiritual aspiration and the compulsion to improve, from Oprah Super Soul 100 member, Danielle LaPorte. Like a wise girlfriend you can totally relate to, Danielle cheerleads you to own your wisdom and self-worth by having a good laugh (and maybe a good cry) at the ways you've been trying to improve on your self-improvement. Rooted in compassion, feminism, and spiritual activism this is an intimate and relatable account of self-help tales gone wrong, and very right. Danielle lays bare "Boundaries for spiritual people"; the "Discipleshit" that happens when we give our power away; a "Soul-perspective" on suffering; "over tolerance" and "foolish compassion" in relationships, sneaky self-loathing; and spiritual glamour. In her poetic and brazen way, she brings it home with the hottest truth of all: You are your own guru. Danielle LaPorte is the author of The Fire Starters Sessions, and The Desire Map. Over 5 million visitors go to DanielleLaPorte.com monthly for her daily Truthbombs and what’s been called "the best place online for kickass spirituality."
