Shine On, You Crazy Diamond: Even When Your Crown Feels Heavy by Catherine L. Owens is a phenomenal self-help book. It was written originally for women but is suited for anyone and everyone who needs help finding themselves again, needs some guidance, advice, or just wants to read someone’s life story and get inspired. While sharing her life stories, Owens talks about subjects such as shame, guilt, religion, self-love, societal expectations, and so much more.

Owens writes honestly, and there is no better way to connect with a reader than being 100% honest. She shares her raw emotions, even giving readers parts of her personal diary entries. She puts into words thoughts we have all had at some point in our lives. The focus is not on fixing flaws but accepting that we are flawed and still have value despite those flaws.

One of the topics Owens covers is being raised Mormon, how that affected her growing up and how her premarital pregnancy with her first daughter changed the way she viewed the Holy Spirit and religion. Who gives the right to a random person to tell her what her relationship to God will be like? The way society views families and what they should be, and other related topics.

The book is lengthy. However, the chapters are written so perfectly that you will read them in no time. In addition to that, the book is overflowing with all sorts of self-love and acceptance quotes that will make you feel better about yourself and your life.

Shine On, You Crazy Diamond: Even When Your Crown Feels Heavy by Catherine L. Owens is more than a self-help book; it is a book that will help you raise your head and be proud of yourself, your life, and your accomplishments. This book will appeal to women looking for uplifting journals, books on women’s issues, and educational books.
