The Science of Stuck: Breaking Through Inertia to Find Your Path Forward by Britt Frank

adventurous emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

5.0

This was great!  Britt Frank is so relatable to me with some of her experiences (which she's transparent about) and achieved something I've wanted to see for a long time - a choose your own adventure version of a self-help book.  It's written so that you can access any chapter, and connect only with the content relevant to your needs.  Don't need input on relationship management or parenting?  Skip it.  Though, comprehensively, it's an excellent read on what - biologically and psychologically (it's all connected) - is happening for those who feel "stuck".  She offers multiple action plans for getting un-stuck, and recaps every chapter with a simplified breakdown of the core concepts in conjunction with an evidence-based exercise intended to be of benefit.  I would say this is a helpful read to anyone who identifies with symptoms of depression, anxiety, ADHD, stress, BURNOUT, and more.  Best of all - unlike so many books about managing stress and projects - there are no highly-detailed horrendously tragic case studies to have to process.  She does mention some client stories, semi-anecdotally, but it's all relevant and non-distressing.  Happy reading!
