After finishing the book:
I really loved the meandering journey Wilson took me on, which in the end, led me back to myself.

Long story short, it’s really time to deal with my anxiety (causing insomnia on and off since 2023, since 2006, since always). If you've ever slept poorly due to a "noisy mind", this book is for you.
It’s a beautiful but un-corny examination of the nature of anxiety, including factors that are neurochemical, genetic, nutritional, of course behavioral like strategies we can do, and others, with bits of memoir thrown in as a backbone. She includes a bit about the interplay of physical and mental health, which really resonated with me.
I almost stopped reading it, as I was having a hard time and it was a little intense and I thought maybe I should just journal, or meditate, or slow down, and then next chapter would literally be all about the very thing I considered quitting the book for.
Overall reading this, I feel less alone and have more hope. I feel less anxious and bad about feeling anxious. I feel like "Anxiety" AKA the mind overworking can be a superpower when harnessed in a healthy way. So far so helpful and validating.
