4.0

I have been having a seriously tough time the past year battling my anxiety. This book was recommended to me from a fellow anxious friend and it was so worth the read! Sarah Wilson turns the view of anxiety into one that doesn’t make it a battle but one where you live with this part of you in a different way. I’m not even phrasing this right but she does an incredible job making you feel okay, that you’re not alone, and it is feasible to live a life with less “anxiety spirals”.

Sarah’s book is laid out in mismatched, thought-stream style chapters interspersed with challenges and tips that will help strengthen that coping muscle.

That’s literally the only reason 4 instead of 5 stars was the layout of the book because I like organized, uniform chapters but...that’s just my anxiety. If anything this layout just mimics the anxious brain and helps challenge us out of our comfort zone and into the anxious mind.

If you have anxiety or love someone who does, you’ll find something great to take away from this book you’ll always remember. Whether it be a metaphor for what a panic attack is really like or conscious tips on how to help someone going through it.
