Pokimane found the book to be amazing, especially in how Brown discussed receiving negative comments and hate. It inspired her to keep moving forward despite challenges.

And also recently I read Daring Greatly and that book was absolutely amazing, especially I related so much to just when she spoke about also receiving so many negative comments or hate and someone in her position who's had so much success also say that there will simply be days where it gets to you and where it feels bad and you cry it out.

But then you just get back up and keep moving and keep creating the things you want to make for the people who want to see them.
