First, We Make the Beast Beautiful: A New Journey Through Anxiety by Sarah Wilson

4.0

The book does a great job reframing anxiety. Rather than something to be medicated and stigmatized, Sarah embraces her anxiety as a key part of her identity. She highlights both the negatives and positives of her condition, offering strategies and tactics to those who suffer from anxiety (or to those whose loved ones do). Besides the occasional stress-out, anxiety is not a serious problem for me, but this book did a lot to help me better understand the condition and, ultimately, to better empathize with those who suffer from it.
