The New York Times Bestseller In 2006 Jamie Tworkowski wrote a story called “To Write Love on Her Arms,” about helping a friend through her struggle with drug addiction, depression, and self-injury. The piece was so hauntingly beautiful that it quickly went viral, giving birth to a non-profit organization of the same name. Now, To Write Love on Her Arms (TWLOHA) is an internationally recognized leader in suicide prevention and a source of hope, encouragement, and support for people worldwide. If You Feel Too Much is a celebration of hope, wonder, and what it means to be human. From personal stories of struggling on days most people celebrate to words of strength and encouragement in moments of loss, the essays in this book invite readers to believe that it’s okay to admit to pain and okay to ask for help. If You Feel Too Much is an important book from one of this generation’s most important voices.

I love TWLOHA and everything it stands for. I do NOT like Jamie's method of handling and co-opting other people's stories for his own. This book feels like a livejournal put on paper.
I don't know why I should care about any of these stories because he doesn't give us a reason to be invested. I don't trust him as a narrator and I genuinely don't believe that he understands the pain of the people he is writing to/about.
Some points are great, but TWLOHA has already put all of those of articles of clothing and notebooks. Buy those instead.
