Thank You for Rejecting Me: Harness Pain and Turn It Into Power to Take Control of Your Life

tjhassman: I bought this book after going through a bad breakup, but it took me a while to open it. I read it earlier this year, and I just finished a second read through. While there are chapters about breakups and overcoming trauma from abuse, it was more about how to take the pain you’ve gone through to make you stronger. From learning to love your body and sexual desire to finding the purpose in heartache and abandonment, this book really covers it all. I opened it expecting to find ways to overcome my breakup and left with so much more. Finding self-love even in the hard seasons can be difficult, but the perspectives Kait Warman offers in this book give a good starting point for anyone looking to heal. I highly recommend it.

Sarah: I love listening to kait’s podcast, so when she released her book I knew I wanted to read it!
This book was so life giving and freeing for me. Often our rejections are things we try to bury and hide, but putting a light on them as kait did, normalizes that rejection happens to everyone, whether self inflicted or rejection from others and it gives space to truly heal. These rejections while devastating play a huge part in forming us and this reminded me of all the growth that can come even from the bad things! Definitely recommend

Merary: It is rare for me these days to binge a book in one sitting due to lack of time in my daily life, but I could not help but at least give this book a few hours of my time. Those three hours were indeed well-spent.

I have been following Kait Warman for a short while and one thing I admire about her is that seems like one of the nicest and kindest people around. I listen to her Heart of Dating podcast occasionally, so when the news came that she was releasing Thank You for Rejecting Me, I took every opportunity to pre-order it so I could have it in my hands as soon as possible.

The main theme of this book is that rejection comes in all shapes and forms; it is not just about heartbreak from romantic relationships (in fact, that topic is minimal in this book), but also rejection from yourself, friends, society, and God. This is to say, that this book can be read by pretty much everyone because of the relatability of her stories.

Staying on that topic, I want to briefly talk about the tone and approachability towards the reader. From my personal experience, when an author attempts to relate to you and speaks to you with overt familiarity, I get uncomfortable because...

Netha: I have been following Kait and listening to her Heart of Dating podcast for a little while so I was really looking forward to this book. I haven't finished it yet but it has been amazing so far. Sometimes we do not realize how much rejection can affect us, not just in relationships. There is so much to learn and reading this book feels like having a direct conversation with the author (if you follow her on social media, you may understand what I mean). I will provide an updated review once I finish reading it but so far so good and I will definitely recommend it.

Skatecrazy: This is a very good book for anyone who has experienced any kind of rejection. I like the author's honest, vulnerable, sometimes humorous approach and writing style. It goes very deep. Kudos for being so open. But then again, only by being so honest can one actually share testimonies/experiences that can truly impact others. What's also great is that she talks about different kinds of rejection, it is not at all a one-faceted book. The practical steps are also very important, it is not about theory!
As this is an honest review, one thing bothers me a bit (and I would give 4.5 stars if I could) - the author cited some neuroscience elements that as far as my research, searching and neuro and cognitive background show to not be true. (It's about a long-term memory being formed in 63 days whereas long-term memory starts at less than a minute, and the memories that are created instantly are consolidated over time (and modified, too).)
I know that the resource cited for this specific example is quite popular and I don't wish to ruffle any feathers with my review. Although I don't use this resource because I have reservations about it, it's just one small part in a book that's not...

Stephanie RamosStephanie Ramos: Rejection is not just for relationships, it comes in all aspects of life! Kait knows this and she does a PHENOMENAL JOB of covering this in her book, 'Thank you for Rejecting Me: Transform Pain Into Purpose and Learn to Fight for Yourself'.

Wow, you know what. I commend Kait for this incredibly well-written masterpiece of a book. She gets real, raw and honest, real quick and that’s no easy task for any human being. You can see the honesty in every detail, of every line. And she not only asks some hard headfirst questions but she challenges you to dig deep and ask them to yourself! Each chapter is a different rejection and she not only goes into depth from her own experience which is what makes Kait so real, so genuine, and honest. But she lets you into the parts most of us are unwilling to admit even to our closest friends or self.

This book will transcend and encourage and help you overcome, heal from, and conquer different forms of rejections. There’s no way you can read the book and not find something relatable in it. I tell you, as someone who has read this book I 100% relate to her and can quite literally reflect on my own personal experiences and it may...

Kirsty: I’ve been following Kait for a couple years over on the Heart of Dating podcast - which I LOVE! She has so much influence in everything she talks on about Godly dating and singleness! When I found out she was releasing a book I had to purchase. I’ve struggled with rejection from job opportunities, dating, self hatred etc. and I knew Kait had so much wisdom on this subject to share and I had confidence that her book would be amazing!

This book has gone beyond my expectations, Kait is so empowering with her words and I feel as if I’m speaking with a friend as I read her book - I feel heard, seen and as if someone can understand and empathise with those deep hidden emotional scars I’ve had from rejection.

I’ve learnt from this how to embrace the pain + rejection and how God has the power to transform and change the situation! ❤️ To not let rejection be the script for my life and how rejection is not the end!

No matter how old, what gender, what life story you have or relationship status this book WILL speak to you, as every person has experienced rejection in some shape and form and Kait speaks on every type of rejection! Highly recommend ❤️ One...

Jasmine Noelle: Kait's book, "Thank You for Rejecting Me" was the perfect book for the season of healing I am walking through. As I read each chapter, it felt like Kait was sitting across from me and we were having a conversation one-on-one. I can imagine that everyone, at one time in their life has felt rejected one way or another and this book is for you. The book is filled with so many practical truths and questions to help on your journey of healing from rejection. I would recommend this book to everyone (men included)! This is one of the best books I have ever read, because I realized that I am not the only one who has struggled with rejection. Thank you Kait for writing this life-changing book!
