lisamchuk's review against another edition
3.0
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.

I found myself identifying pretty strongly with a few too many of the authors struggles here. I learned some interesting things and got some tools and ideas to try out and see if they can help me with my own struggles with anxiety.
