chrissymcbooknerd 's review for:
To start with full disclosure here, I didn't pay for this book. I didn't actually physically read this book either.
I accessed the audiobook as one of the freebies on Audible, per the suggestion of a peer who stated that this would be an amazing motivational read for my workouts.
Yeah, she lied. (Sorry, friend!)
First of all, the audiobook quality was terrible. And, maybe that's not a fair point for a book review, but if you do happen to stumble upon this freebie, you should be prepared. The narrator sounds like she's talking at you -- loudly -- from a potato.
Second of all, the whole thing is just entirely too casual. Like, I don't know what I expect from a book called "Unfuck Your Brain" -- but this didn't feel like a PhD expert casually imparting great wisdoms to a modern audience. It came across like some random drunk chick from the club spouting off lines from her undergrad psych course mixed with a billion and a half F-bombs.
So, I did listen to this during my workouts. But, I didn't learn anything. There wasn't any great wisdom here. Basically, your thoughts impact your reactions and everything impacts your reality. Think differently, react differently, live differently. Nothing earth shattering.
It just made my workouts feel extra boring and extra long, which is crazy because this was an extremely short audiobook.
Since my peer recommended this book, I feel like there's an audience out there somewhere.
It's just not me.
