hapeedaisy 's review for:
First, We Make the Beast Beautiful: A New Story About Anxiety
by Sarah Wilson
I absolutely loved hearing Sarah Wilson's journey.
As someone who has suffered a generalised anxiety disorder and bouts of OCD for most of my life, I really related to a great deal of what Sarah speaks about in her book. Being of a similar age, I could easily understand and follow most of the sentiments and journey details.
I am often asked how I manage to be such an organised, practical and calming person. How can I be such an optimistic realist after the many traumas that have formed my life?
Well, now I am able to tell these questioners, "Read Sarah Wilson's book!! It explains it all". :)
It explains the coping mechanisms that I've intuitively taught myself over my years. It details the periods in my life that I have "cried for days over the bigness of it all".
I listened to the audio version of this book while tapping away at my keyboard, trying to build my online business. Every so often, my fingers would freeze, poised over the keyboard while I stopped in my tracks, giving Sarah's voice my complete attention.
If you want to know that your anxiety is normal, if you want to be able to relate and feel that you are understood, then this is a must read.
