Hack 39 is invalid

I fundamentally disagree with the author’s OPINION on validity of emotion. Telling yourself your feelings are invalid and shoving yourself down and bottling everything up because it’s “not valid” is not an effective way to regulate your emotions.

Also, Dr. Martin read his last two books and does not read this one. The man reading it is lackluster at best.
Waste of a credit.
Hope you find that to be valid.
