Description
The author of the runaway hit Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies shares honest and practical lessons for healing your past and owning your future so you can radiate strength, bravery, and joy when life gets dark. "A revealing and powerful book that lit me up from the inside out."--GLENNON DOYLE, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Untamed Tara Schuster thought she was on stable ground. For years, she'd worked like hell to repair the emotional wounds inflicted during what she refers to as her "mess-wreck disaster" of a childhood. She'd brought radical healing rituals and self-love into her life. On most days, she was a happy, stable adult. She even wrote a book about it! But then she lost her job, the one on which she had staked her entire identity. Cue a panic-attack-doom-spiral that brought her harshest childhood traumas to the surface. Isolated at home during a global pandemic, she felt piercing loneliness and a lack of purpose like she had never known. Finally, after experiencing a terrifying dissociative episode while driving down the highway, she realized that enough was enough; she needed to slow down and pull over--literally. It was time for Tara to stop the hustling and to reclaim her essential, free, and loving self. Glow in the F*cking Dark is a guide to healing your deepest wounds, getting off your "good enough" plateau, and creating the spectacular life that you most desire. Tara clawed her way out of the darkness and recovered her shine, and in this book, she shows how to - recognize trauma reactions and choose new ways to respond- find what's really under your anxiety
- repair your relationship with your body
- find solace and purpose in something bigger than yourself Full of practical, achievable baby steps that we can take today, this book is for anyone ready to liberate themselves from their emotional suffering, discover their purpose, and finally sit in the driver's seat of their life. It's for anyone who is tired, hurting, and feeling like their essential brightness has dimmed. It's for people who are ready to glow, even when sh*t gets grim.

Reviews
"Tara Schuster is a phenomenal storyteller--a woman who insisted on reclaiming her agency to shine in bleak circumstances. Glow in the F*cking Dark is a revealing and powerful book that lit me up from the inside out."--Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Untamed, founder of Together Rising, and host of We Can Do Hard Things "Healing takes effort--and we can't do it alone. In Glow in the F*cking Dark, Tara Schuster guides us along as she finds her way through her own pain and offers honest, often funny, and actionable advice for taking charge of your emotional health."--Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone and co-host of the podcast Dear Therapists "Tara Schuster has done something remarkable: She's written a guide to facing the slings and arrows of life that's both delightfully irreverent and disarmingly earnest. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you might just come away stronger and better."--Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and host of the TED podcast WorkLife "Glow in the F*cking Dark proves that Tara Schuster is a modern-day guru for people who really hate gurus. Ruthlessly authentic and bitingly hilarious, Schuster takes us on a roller coaster of self-discovery, revealing that we are all the student and the teacher on our own paths to growth and healing."--Melissa Urban, co-founder of Whole30 and #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Whole30 and The Book of Boundaries "Former Comedy Central exec Schuster follows up Buy the F*cking Lilies with an upbeat plan for readers to become more confident versions of themselves. Blending witty personal anecdotes and ample doses of wisdom, Schuster urges readers to surpass their 'good-enough plateau' and 'unleash [their] inner glow.'. . . Her stories are candid and funny, and her chatty tone keeps the narrative moving. Readers will be charmed by Schuster's honesty and humor."--Publishers Weekly "[Tara] Schuster organizes her ideas into easy-to-follow steps (each chapter ends with a bite-sized 'Little Thing That Helps') and also provides funny, self-deprecating anecdotes--e.g., the time she gave herself an allergic reaction eating a self-imposed raw-beet-and-kale diet during an online meditation retreat. The author doesn't shy away from her darkest moments, writing about her troubled relationship with her father or her struggle with suicidal thoughts, which can 'make you feel full-body sick, like your insides are going to leap out of your skin or, sometimes, like every muscle is paralyzed. It's an excruciating kind of agony that you want to end at all costs.' An approachable, exuberant combination of memoir and self-help."--Kirkus Reviews
