Had some good advice. The author also suggests a few calming and noting techniques that seem to be useable but time will tell.
The author did bring up Love Languages, it was only briefly mentioned. Knowing the
pseudoscientific and homophobic basis of this theory it does make me more sceptical of the advice given by the author.
Edit, after reading Unfuck Your Anxiety, I have changed my mind about the author and the advice they give. In that book she expands on her book "This is your brain on Anxiety", which shows the unsafe and pseudoscience she believes in and promotes. It's frustrating to have anxiety and always be told eat this of take that go to a chiropractor. Please note chiropractors are proven to be dangerous, I mean just look at the guy who invented it. Yeah fuck this book

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I've seen it on bookshelves in stores for a while now and been curious, but this was a fun and informative read with all the cursing a girl could desire.

Seems to be a shortened version of Unfuck Your Brain. It's okay, but if I am reading a series, I want some new concepts. Some of the sentences seemed exactly the same. She still randomly cusses just to look cool. It reminds me of a middle-schooler learning to cuss.

Some really helpful techniques and insights on anger and the brain with referenced sources. But some very weird takes on Yoga and other religious practices that make it questionable.

It’s really short, so I could have gone for more.
But as always, I love her information, data, science, and solutions. I also better understand anger around me, from others from this book. And better understand other emotions, not just anger.

It was a nice and easy read. I’m working on my anger and how I treat it. Also working on forgiveness. I’ve held onto too many things that I just let fester. I do kind of wish she talked about how to work on the hair pin triggers. They just happen so quick that how can you really take the time to calm yourself down beforehand. I also wish there was more imagery in there like maybe showing some of the places in the brain where anger lights up (but that’s just the psych degree in me wanting that)
