Clarity & Connection (The Inward Trilogy)

Product Information

New York Times Bestselling collection of poetry and short prose focused on understanding how past wounds impact our present relationships. I think what I liked best about this book is that encourages community without having to compromise self, and many time self-help books tend to overlook community, love, accepting your emotions and how these three things are an important part of healing. I felt like I was being told what to do, think, feel, and how to live by someone who… I’m sorry, what are your qualifications?

Not trauma as we often think of it, perhaps, but the trauma of “jealousy, anger, doubt, and low self-worth. There were a handful of poems I connected with, that resonated enough to bookmark to come back to later. It was simplistic, pretty pointless, and oh yes, endless, to the point where the same idea kept repeating in multiple poems, and the volume wasn't the shortest, either. While I feel like this book is only worth one star I gave it two stars because the advice can be helpful to those who are looking for it. An insightful and impressive poetry collection of emotions, relationships, healing, self-awareness, growth, releasing, acceptance, communication, vulnerability, and love.I enjoyed this free-verse poetry book, it gave me the words to purge my emotions , especially during these times of Covid, when we are isolated from loved ones and still forced to survive under the reigns of capitalism and a careless government. There is material on self-awareness, personal relationships, and society at large, but it all comes back to self.

I appreciate self help books and I like them but this isn't listed as a self help book it's listed as poetry.How many times have you been unable to fully enjoy a special moment because you couldn’t stop thinking about what was missing?
