What Others Are Saying

“I love good storytelling … and Shannon Alter is a very good storyteller. Shannon enhances this book with her passion, experience, empathy, and candor… and by painting a picture for the reader by drawing on her own personal stories; she invites us to ‘try on’ the concepts she is teaching, making them all the more relatable and immediately valuable. I was easily able to connect the concepts and stories with situations I have experienced in my life. I only wish Shannon had written this book 30 years ago!”
