I think Trump broke people. Being in a country with an unstable ruling patterns hardens you, though. Some of you only had peaceful presidential inaugurations and no coups, and it shows!
This is more notes on mental health and personal experience that it is a book about running. It's not something you read while listening to Eye of The Tiger, rather it is best suited to Evereybody Hurts .
It's a good book, though. I enjoyed it to a degree and could grasp the message. I also liked how it's not patronizing.

Raw, honest, relatable and practical.
Thank you for being so vulnerable, a fantastic listen. Bella is completely open about her battles with mental health, you really feel connected to her and her story, you feel like it's an old friend. There is no pretence, no bravado, just her raw emotional story. She is completely self aware, and also self deprecating and that's what makes her writing so honest. I Iove the little glimmers of comedy that inject personality. Most of all I love how fearlessly she speaks, you get a sense like this is therapy for her.
A fantastic book to start the new year with, I've just started my couch to 5k, and Bella has really given me the comfort I needed to know what ever effort I put in no matter how small I'm progressing. I feel the benefits already mentally I feel less foggy. I'm sad this is the end of the book, I need more Bella - MORE!

Seriously… if you want to read a book from a privileged journalist who spends the whole book quoting other authors, like it’s a GCSE essay (when their books are a much better read), only for her to tell you well after 100 pages in the book her commitment and dedication to running came from using the Couch to 5k app… this is for you. It’s utter madness that this has been published and it’s simply due to her connections! Not worth the paper it’s printed on. An absolute waste of time!

Gave up on this on the couch after a surprise nap trying to read it.
It’s so much more about mental health than running and I just don’t feel like reading about that right now.

This book was really lovely. It inspired me to get out more for exercise and to remember that exercise is a tool for mental health that is free and never fails to make you feel better.
It made me laugh a lot and I loved how honest and real the author was about their experience and struggles.
5*
