Completed as an audiobook

This was a really lovely book. Very simple and relaxing. Topics discussed in here ranged from very new ideas, familiar concepts, and comforting stories. Some of it felt shallow and ironic, but not all insight and advice regarding mental illness and mental health will resonate perfectly. I was willing to overlook the sappy stuff to hear the more insightful and passionate sections.

Some of the things in here my therapist has told me or asked me to being practicing in my life. So if you need a place to start in healing your mental health but don't want to or can't see a therapist right now, this book has some fine advice that could get you started.

As someone who has anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, maybe even autism, and someone who has grieved the loss of my grandmother this year, I needed this book. Not even 30 pages in and I was crying. I do get what everyone says about it being repetitive, but sometimes you have to have things told to you several times before you actually believe them.
