I am at the beginning of a long journey of mental health. I was recently diagnosed with Bipolar 2 and this book is an incredible resource for understanding and coping with anxiety. This is book is a resource out to not provide a solution for your problems but rather find acceptance in who you are. Anyone with anxiety, mania, or any mental health disorder with up energy needs this book. The loved ones of those struggling can benefit as well.

I had really high expectations for this book and instead I found myself dragging through it.

Hated it. Hated it, hated it, hated it. Tone dead privilege on every page. Gross.

Mostly anecdotal and meant to inspire via sharing personal stories and advice, there are some interesting bits within, if you can get through the meandering. It seemed like whenever I was getting bored or it was getting repetitive she would drop an absolute gem that spoke to me. I'm not sure this is the best book to read about anxiety, but it wasn't a waste of time.

2 stars for the author being real and vulnerable. Also only 2 stars for this being categorized as a "self-help" or "psychology" book instead of an "autobiography"

"They (worries) are just narratives we create in the present."
Honest and insightful, but unnecessary long.

A wonderful blend of memoir and self-help book. I love that Sarah describes different strategies working and failing at different times during her life with anxiety. I love the idea of making my own beast beautiful, and I found that in understanding her beast I found her beautiful as well.
