Summary:
In this hilarious, candid, and warm debut, Icon for Hire vocalist Ariel Bloomer bares her soul and shares her struggles, coupling accessible autobiography with practical advice and inspiration for navigating the messiest parts of life.
From growing up a passionate but troubled spiritual seeker to chasing her rock n' roll dreams, Bloomer's journey illustrates the importance of cultivating self=love and the transformational nature of creativity, as well as how to access the artist inside all of us. Turning one's pain into art is an intense but rewarding endeavor, and is one we can all benefit from-if we're brave enough to say yes to the challenge.
My Thoughts:
Honestly, this is the most helpful 'self help' book I have ever encountered. In the first third of the book, Ariel shares her life story and how she got to where she is now. As someone who struggles with some of the things she does, it was a good way to connect with the author and know that her advice would actually most likely work for me. Ariel then dives into the deeper stuff. She talks about how she overcame her struggles with tips and hints on what worked for her. Some sections have you write down different things that relate your life to what she's talking about.
As someone who LOVES Icon for Hire, I knew this book would be great, but I had no clue how great it actually was.
If anyone is trying to find a self help book that ACTUALLY HELPS, definitely check this one out. You won't regret it.
My Rating: 5 stars
