Ten Things I Hate About Me: The instant Sunday Times bestseller

Product Information

As someone who works with people who live with BPD and other severely incapacitating mental illnesses, I found this book fascinating and heartbreaking. It had to be dragged into the world, with my condition telling me that every single word, sentence and chapter was terrible and would make strangers walk up to me in the street and punch me in the face. Tracini, 32, has a sweet baby face (Joe 90 meets Alan Carr) and a life-affirming smile that belies everything he is talking about.

I love Joe's honest videos and his hilarious dance routines and commentaries and found the first half of the book engaging and insightful.It's a collection of the funny, sad, shocking and weird stuff that has happened to me along the way. While serious Joe worries that “tomorrow is not a given”, BPD Joe retorts: “What d’you mean tomorrow is not a gibbon?

Perhaps a lot is wearily familiar, but he does have interesting things to say, for example about the differences between private rehab and state funded rehab (and no, not that paying gets you something better) He also does two sorts of questioning about underpinning philosophies and approaches - there's the delusional questioning (trying to wriggle out of it, you might say), and some which are worthy of serious and wider consideration. Alongside wacky dance tutorials delivered in outlandish skimpies, the videos focus on Tracini’s main challenge in life – how not to kill himself.

Success came easily, but he did not know what to do with himself in his spare time, so he started using cocaine. I have BPD, and this was less of a 'self-help' book and more of a commiserations book, and that's why I adored it. But he does make it obvious they were more likely to take a pair of shears to pernicious weeds in the garden rather than dig them up by the roots. Eu não acho justo dar estrelas pra um relato sincero sobre transtorno de personalidade mas ainda assim vou dar 5. Toda noite ficava animada pra ler mais do livro e descobrir o que mais eu e o Joe tínhamos em comum.
