Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

Flanagan, clinical psychologist and founder of the UnTangled blog, wants readers to think about the elusiveness of feeling good about oneself. The book's origins come from his experience writing personal letters to his children about faring well in life by turning off the critical, negative sound bites that can poison a restless mind-these thoughtful essays got him an invite on The Today Show, which took his blog readership to new heights. Flanagan offers readers many small observations about life, relationships, and the inner workings of the heart and mind in easily digestible fashion. Men and women alike will benefit from his humble transparency as he untangles his own struggles with acceptance of himself. Although the book will be helpful to any reader looking for affirmation and relief from self-criticism, Christian readers especially will find solace, a gentle nudge to change as needed, and tender reminders that all people struggle in similar ways.
