Indigo Already Human: Why the Culture of Self-Improvement Is Making Us Feel Broken | Erin Mills Town Centre
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Indigo
What if the reason you still feel broken after years of "doing the work" is because you were never broken to begin with?
We live in a culture obsessed with self-improvement. We are constantly sold the idea that we are fundamentally incomplete, and that with enough therapy, optimization, and healing, we might finally become acceptable. In Already Human , licensed therapist Lacey K. Kelly challenges the exhausting architecture of the wellness industry and the language of deficiency we have been taught to use against ourselves.
Drawing on years of clinical experience, Kelly observes that what we so often pathologize as damage is actually intelligent adaptation. We are not projects to be managed; we are human beings responding to the world.
In this book, you will explore:
How the wellness industry pathologizes ordinary human experience
Why treating your body and mind as a project keeps you stuck
The difference between intelligent adaptation and being "broken"
How to reconnect with the inherent wholeness of vulnerability, need, and belonging
Already Human is a profound and necessary permission slip to step off the treadmill of self-optimization. It is an invitation to stop trying to cure your own humanity, and to finally let yourself live.
