2.5 stars. The best part of the book is the cover. ðŽ
I devoured the first half of this book. By the half way point, I started to grow tired of the author.
She included some good tips that I jotted down, however, I do not agree with every analysis and piece of advice. Her use of studies and quotes felt cherry picked to fit her opinions, not some deeper exploration of actual facts on the best ways to deal with anxiety. I can also understand why people say this book makes them MORE anxious.
Her lifestyle is completely unrelatable to the average person, which is fine, but it's a reoccurring theme in how she copes. Most of us can't go live in the woods, constantly go globe trotting, or spend time at an ashram. Not to mention, I didn't pick this book up so that she could talk me into cutting out sugar. Mention it once, fine, then move on.
As Sarah Wilson kept mentioning yet another excursion out in the world, I kept picturing Barry from Baby Mama. ð "You know, I was swimming this morning with the dolphins in Costa Rica..." Sure, Barry. Sure, Sarah.
Personally, I'm not a fan of vulgar language and there was some of that as well.
I am glad I read the book because I did get some useful ideas but the last 40 pages or so were especially painful to get through.
