Well written self help book.
Interesting, easy to understand, sometimes a little bit basic.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC of this book. This is my honest review. All opinions are my own.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thank you NetGalley.

Stuck was an interesting read. At times, it did feel a bit... condescending I guess? Maybe that's how most self-help books are? i haven't read many.
i'd be interested in reading her "life story" instead.

This is a great book if you are "stuck" and looking to move ahead. I found myself chuckling at a lot of her metaphors. I will be using some of those! The journal/activities were great-wonderful way to examine yourself, how you have been dealing with life, and how you need to move forward or change. Her personal story was crazy! This book was well written but very direct in the way it's easy to understand and follow everything she was saying. I love the cover as well!

Kim Casey Cobb should write her life story instead of self help books and that would be a best seller. I would love to hear more about her life. Her advice is basic and in a several books that have overcome great adversity.

"Stuck" by Kim Casey Cobb comes across as a part-memoir and part-self help book. She uses her own life story to illustrate why anyone else should be able to get out of their rut. Things can come off a bit preachy or pretentious when you say that since you overcame adversity anyone can, but many self-help authors write like such. Her life story is fascinating and the advice is good, but the advice is not necessarily unique to any other self-help book I've read.

On a side note, I believe that the author should one day write an actual memoir instead. For now her writing is simple and direct, which is fine for a self-help book (which is what Stuck is marketed as), but not for a memoir. There's not enough emotion or beauty in her words and her prose is uninspired. But she has lived a very interesting and unique life. If she works on her narrative writing skills and cultivates a unique writing voice, her memoir could become the next "Glass Castle,"
