This book was a warm fuzzy hug, even as it sometimes stabbed me right in the chest and encouraged me to do better. A fast and engaging read, and I acted on some of the advice immediately, but I think primarily it will be useful as a reference on the shelf, when I am struggling with one of the topics the advice in this book is on. ( ) Such a tender and encouraging book. Reading this was akin to wandering around a garden and noticing all the small and unexpected miracles waiting everywhere, even in places you thought you knew. Several times, I thought of how empowering one chapter or another would be for a sibling or a friend, and while I learned something from every chapter, chapters 3 (How to Keep Firmly and Everlastingly in Mind That Doing Nothing Isn't Neutral), 6 (How to Love Someone with Your Words, Actions, and Priorities (in Addition to Your Feelings, Which I'm Sure Are Very Nice)), and 16 (How to Keep Going When You Just Want More Than Anything to Stop, for G-d's Sake) were especially meaningful. This is the kind of the book I want to own, to highlight and scribble in, to dog-ear and sticky tab, so when I'm feeling lost or frustrated or angry or alone, I have a roadmap not just to kind and hopeful advice, but a reminder of how that advice has touched and taught me, of who I wanted to be when I read it last. "As an author, educator, and public speaker, S. Bear Bergman has documented his experience as, among other things, a trans parent, with wit and aplomb. He also writes the advice column “Ask Bear,” in which he answers crucial questions about how best to make our collective way through the world. Featuring disarming illustrations by Saul Freedman-Lawson, Special Topics in Being a Human elaborates on “Asking Bear”’s premise: a gentle, witty, and insightful book of practical advice for the modern age. It offers Dad advice and Jewish bubbe wisdom, all filtered through a queer lens, to help you navigate some of the complexities of life—from how to make big decisions or make a good apology, to how to get someone’s new name and pronouns right as quickly as possible, to how to gracefully navigate a breakup. With warmth and candor, Special Topics in Being a Human calls out social inequities and injustices in traditional advice-giving, validates your feelings, asks a lot of questions, and tries to help you be your best possible self with kindness, compassion, and humor." www.amazon.com aucune critique | ajouter une critique
