It’s on Me: Accept Hard Truths, Discover Your Self, and Change Your Life

The concept of finding oneself may be one of life’s few universal themes. In this book, psychotherapist Kuburic integrates her clinical work, research, and personal experiences to share what it means when people lose that sense of self—and provides ideas about how to reclaim it. There are raw, real moments as Kuburic recounts the fear she faced in her 20s that she might “shatter” or “break” before “breaking free.” Mixing Taylor Swift references with definitions from the DSM and theories from existentialist philosophy, Kuburic crafts a sensitive approach to sharing her struggles and opening them up into practices she’s used with clients so that readers will put down the book feeling seen. She asks big, bold questions about identity and shared humanness, and she’s written a book that will appeal to readers interested in how they might embody their own answers to these questions.
