karaayers 's review for:
I enjoyed this book's mix of research and personal reflection. Many of her metaphors were helpful and I like the way she encourages a strengths-based view of anxiety. She lost me a couple times towards the end of the book with her reflections of laying in a hut for hours/days. I also noticed the inconsistencies in editing that others picked up. I'm a psychologist so her conclusions and generalizations stretched me a bit when they conflicted with current conclusions based on science. I do know that these, too, change, however. I could have done without the repetitive food recommendations and there was one chapter in particular that seemed very "Cosmo" or "Teen Vogue" quiz-like. She somehow grouped people by their frame, teeth!?!, and other seemingly random qualities with predictions of their anxiety levels. This section was bizarre. She made up for it, however, in her honest reflection of how lonely and isolating anxiety can feel.
