How to Be Loved

A Memoir of Lifesaving Friendship

De: Eva Hagberg Fisher

Narrado por: Eva Hagberg Fisher

A luminous memoir about how friendship saved one woman's life, for anyone who has loved a friend who was sick, grieving, or lost - and for anyone who has struggled to seek help or accept it.

Eva Hagberg Fisher spent her lonely youth looking everywhere for connection: drugs, alcohol, therapists, boyfriends, girlfriends. Sometimes she found it, but always temporarily. Then, at age 30, an undiscovered mass in her brain ruptured. So did her life. A brain surgery marked only the beginning of a long journey, and when her illness hit a critical stage, it forced her to finally admit the long suppressed truth: she was vulnerable, she needed help, and she longed to grow. She needed true friendship for the first time.

Loved it

I really enjoyed her style of writing and how descriptive she was of all the adventures in reality she went through

A must read for any one or any woman

Eva tells a beautiful and vulnerable story about family, friendship, love, healing, illness, medicine, life and death. I’m so grateful to have found this book. I can’t wait to enjoy more of this writer’s work. Xo

not good

felt like this book was a waste of time. incessant navel-gazing mixed with upper-class, white, female privilege.

Story and title don't match

I'm left feeling blank at the end of this book. Writer gives Lots of experiences, nothing really on the measures taken to heal. Especially disappointed in no real meat and potatoes on how to be loved. Literally, at the end it was like, I hugged her and it meant something.

High in self indulgence, low on insight

Wanted to lie this book and the first half was interesting but the 2nd half was really self indulgent and boring. I know she suffered greatly but this book did not expose any deep feelings or insights.
