Radical Love: Learning to Accept Yourself and Others by Zachary Levi

challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective tense

3.5

I read this in a day (while stuck in bed with a migraine). Affecting story of trauma and (partial) recovery -- Zachary has come through his suffering with a lot of insight and wisdom and compassion that can benefit others. He's had to face the fact that his wish for a quick fix (like a four-week retreat, that he stopped after only three weeks because he got an acting job!) is not realistic -- he's in for a marathon, with all he's gone through! And he also needs to know that "thoughts and prayers" are not enough, that faith also involves using our own initiative and other tools for change. But he's working on it.

I don't really know his work (except in Tangled!) but I appreciate that he wants to do something to change the messed-up Hollywood system as well as improve his own mental health and I wish him all the best with both. 

I think the language might come across better in the audiobook version read by the author. His delivery probably would make it more heartfelt and charming. In written form it was somewhat pedestrian and cliched.
