Resumen del Editor

Anxiety - it's the worst: choking, stifling, smothering, tingling, panicking, brain cutting out, bad decisions. You're a human being, so you know exactly what's being said here.

Dr. Faith Harper lays it all out: what anxiety is, what it's good for - that's right, it's actually a necessary response that helps to keep us alive in bad situations - how to know when it's gone overboard, and practical tips on how to deal with it when it gets bad. This book is a lifesaver for panic attacks, breaking out of flight-or-fight-or-freeze responses, and for chronic anxiety. It's also good for folks who aren't daily burdened by anxiety, but want to better cope with those tough situations that affect us all. Listen to this and breathe!

Meh

Thought this would provide some kind interesting vantage point on anxiety. The narrator sounds like Microsoft Sam. I really don’t understand this “bro” trend with dropping the word “fuck” just to grab the reader’s attention.

Helpful but distracting

This is a very helpful book with great advice, however I’m not a big fan of use of profanity.. especially the “F” word. Some use of that word is ok. In some situations it makes me laugh because it’s funny. But sometimes it’s used too much to where I almost wanted to stop listening and I couldn’t take this seriously. Aside from that, overall it was a good experience.

good read! now I know what's wrong

great read... highly recommend this to any one with anxiety.. you will be glad you read it

Good but too much cussing for a mental health book

I thought the book was overall good, I learned some stuff I didn't know before. But like a bunch of the reviews said, there was a ton of unnecessary cussing for a book in this genre of mental health. It didn't seem as serious as it could have been and seemed more of a buddy-buddy approach.

Worth it

It definitely a good listen it was condescending just informative and a little humorous

good message

I really liked this book. great message and kept me engaged. however, there are way too many f-bombs.

An introspective peering

As someone with anxiety, paranoia, and MDD, I found this book very informative! It’s great at giving new perspectives and covers a plethora of ways in which better to deal with anxiety. Also even if you don’t have anxiety in a clinical sense it’s worth checking out to understand it. My only gripe was the seemingly random swearing. Compared to the random eloquent speech it kind of comes out of no where and breaks the immersion for me. I think it is a form of anxiety release for the author or could be the audience the author is trying to reach. That aside I enjoyed it a ton. 8/10

Must read!

This book is amazing it definitely helps ppl who have friends with anxiety on clarity on how to help & and an even bigger help to understand how and why it happens for ppl dealing with anxiety or chronic anxiety

Quick listen!

Awesome book! Lots of useful and helpful hints and tricks! Very easy breakdown. Great author!

Good book, but stop swearing

Stop swearing. It was excessive and did not serve to emphasize the point. In fact it was distracting and curbs one from listening to this book out loud around young children.
