challenging informative reflective slow-paced

This is a subject I’m interested in learning more about and educating myself on, but while this is a relatively short book I struggled to finish it. I had difficulty connecting to the narrative and did not enjoy the autobiographical focus of the author’s life throughout the book: I can understand how these sections would be included to show how the author can speak with authority on the subjects brought up, but oftentimes I felt they read as defensive justifications for past actions (but I do recognize that sometimes that validation is needed for healing, I just don’t know if this was the right outlet). I did learn many new things from this book, however, and I will be looking into the further reading recommendations.
