jarrahpenguin 's review for:
I bought this book during a period of particularly acute and regular anxiety attacks, as part of a desperate search for answers and solutions. Sarah Wilson's observations on the nature of anxiety, and her honest, compassionate stories of her own struggles, were accessible and they both comforted me, as well as challenged me to really be honest with myself, sit with my anxious feelings and view the experience with gratitude. While some of her recommendations are a little woo for me (e.g. ayurvedic dosha balancing, quitting sugar), I didn't feel she was overly preachy or saying you would fail if you chose not to follow every piece of advice. The most important thing, in her view, is realize that you can't beat anxiety by running, hiding or trying to "fix" it; instead, it's important for us to understand it, to be gentle and compassionate with ourselves, and use a range of tools to survive, learn and realize our own beauty.
