Hello, Chez! The book (from what you wrote) strikes me as being in the category of commodification of trauma & celebrity. Throwing in a patina of faith-based self-help seems geared to marketing. I would be less skeptical if the author presented deeper personal insight.
I just finished an excellent (but tough) novel addressing the topics of such commodification. One of the main characters experienced much of what this author does— participation in an exploitative reality show, etc. Interesting.
Commodification of Trauma and Celebrity - succinct and delicious! Thank you for reading my article and share the Title of the other book so I can add it to my reading list
Chez - your writing and reasoning are so clear and on point!! Brava!
Thank you Elise!
