Synopsis

“A masterful guide to help all those who are building self-awareness.”—yung pueblo, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Lighter

A revolutionary guide to identifying self-loss—that feeling of being adrift, disconnected from your true Self—and discovering the freedom that comes from taking responsibility for how we live and who we become, from an existential psychotherapist, USA Today columnist, and Instagram’s popular “Millennial Therapist”

So many of us feel lonely, unfulfilled, or trapped—in our roles and relationships, in cycles of self-sabotage and bad decisions, by our patterns and misguided attempts to feel happy or to feel something. According to existential psychotherapist Sara Kuburic, it doesn’t have to be so difficult. Really.

The answer is found in facing ourselves—whatever version that might be, regardless of whether we like the person we see reflected back to us. It’s about accepting full responsibility for the choices and actions that create our reality. It’s about finally taking ownership of this person we call our “Self.” It’s about realizing that it’s on us to figure out the two most essential questions: “Who am I” and “Why am I here?” and then to live accordingly.

In It’s on Me, Kuburic unpacks “self-loss,” giving us new vocabulary to understand this rarely talked about experience and offers tools she’s used for years to help clients recover. Self-loss becomes apparent when we do not recognize ourselves in our actions, words, or relationships; when we lose sight of who we truly are, and feel the pain and emptiness from performing or observing life, rather than living it. Guiding us through her unique process of self-reflection, acceptance, and discovery, Kuburic proves that we can
• experience but not feel overpowered by our emotions
• establish a healthy connection to our bodies
• set loving boundaries to define ourselves and heal our relationships
• declutter our physical and mental environments to create space for our true Self to thrive
• find meaning and purpose in a seemingly meaningless world

Revelatory and empowering, Kuburic shows how we can stop sleepwalking our way through the lives we don’t want and step into our most vibrant, authentic, and meaningful Self. In doing so, we unlock a deep sense of connection to our innermost being, and to those around us.

Goodreads review by Isidora on November 11, 2023

2.8 I think there is a giant market in the US for this book. If you are 20-35, work a zombie well paying job and feel void, this book promises a step-by-step, wisdom tutorial on how to improve your life. By the end of the book, as the author writes, everything is still crap or marginally better in y......more

Nggak kebayang sebelumnya kalau "belajar" filsafat eksistensialisme jadi gampang lewat kerangka berpikir psikologi 😭🫶 Kuliah di lingkungan (abang-abangan) fisip, filsafat adalah salah satu matkul yg bikin aku dapet nilai C di ijazah 🤣 Sejak saat itu, rasanya malas berurusan dg filsafat. Salah satu top......more

Goodreads review by Kelly on November 26, 2023

I think everyone should read this book. I follow the author on Instagram who markets herself as the "millennial therapist". When I saw that she wrote a book I had to get it. She speaks to our generation and as a therapist thinks most people are "lost" and haven't found their true Self. In a world wi......more

Goodreads review by Chris on November 30, 2023

This was a fantastic book, and I instantly wanted to read it again once I finished it. Sara Kuburic specializes in existential therapy, which is one I haven’t heard of, but this book was just what I needed. Sara seems like a great therapist who is somehow able to offer tough love while also being ex......more

LOVED this book from @millenialtherapist on insta. As a former therapist supporting clients from an existential approach, I really enjoyed the theory throughout the book. The book offered deep insight into daily interactions and the small changes that one can make to deepen their understanding of th......more
