Every Sunday we are taking a look at the world of books. I read a lot and always want to share my opinions on what I read, so I thought it would be fun to write reviews. Today we are looking at a book by Chuck and Shazam star Zachary Levi.
Radical Love: Learning to Accept Yourself and Others (2022)
Zachary Levi
Synopsis
Facing the scars of childhood trauma and the voices in his head that told him he would never be enough, Zac recounts the raw yet honest behind-the-scenes staory of: his family life, career successes,and personal disappointments.
This all led Zac to rock bottom and landed him in a therapy center, where he learned to address the underlying issues that preceded his downward spiral. With vulnerability and humor, Zac relates the valuable lessons and insights he’s learned so that you can rise from the ashes of trauma and pursue a meaningful life of gratitude.
Radical Love combines witty, touching, and powerful commentary with relatable illustrations to help you on your own path toward mental wellness.

Positive Points
If you are looking for a really interesting read that is also honest and brutal at the same time then this is a book that you need to check out. There are some really harsh stories throughout that maybe hard to read but it gives you an in depth look at the actor. It also goes behind the scenes of the television and films and also discusses about the problems with Hollywood. It also shows a vulnerable side of the actor.
Negative Points
I think the one thing that can tarnish the reading experience is the parts about religion as it can be a little bit in depth and if you are not religious like me then it is hard to enjoy at times.
Overall Review
I found this a really interesting read as it was very honest and it was very emotional at times, it was a page turner. It also opens your eyes to the way the USA can rely on medication to resolve anything. IT is a difficult book to get hold of in the United Kingdom but it is available on Spotify audiobooks.
