The first workaholic book I've read, and holy sh*t

As a physician working with dying patients, I sometimes get stressed out, anxious, etc. But my bigger reason for reading this book was knowing that I'm a workaholic. I've never read a book by workaholic, about workaholism, etc. This just floored me. Maybe more a reflection of my lack of exposure to literature on the topic then on the groundbreaking nature of the book, but I was still blown away. I'm no stranger to self-help literature having read probably more than 100 books in the genre, which was one of the reasons I put off reading this book for so long. I did not expect to find anything new in it. To be fair, there are some classic suggestions in here that were not new, but the premise of the book "go play" was presented an engaging and convincing way and the action items were clear and straightforward. It's only 2 1/2 hours, but I stopped and bookmarked at least five different spots in the book and said out loud "holy shit, this is me, I need to do __suggestion from the book___".

Shallow Tips and Tricks

What disappointed you about Play It Away?

This book does not have any depth. The author gives little tips and tricks that helped him solve his anxiety problems. These worked for him, so he says, but they did not work for me.

What could Charlie Hoehn have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Help solve the problem of worry and anxiety instead of citing interesting apps and TV shows that he enjoys.

What didn’t you like about Ray Chase’s performance?

He did a good job.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Play It Away?

Most of it because I found his app recommendation and tips and tricks useless.

The book is only 3 hours long and can be boiled down to two things:

1.) Relax
2.) Get enough sleep

Any additional comments?

Give me my credit back!

easy read

This book offers good insight into what makes us anxious and how we can be free from it. Common sense writing with a Tim Ferris feel to it. I enjoyed this book.

Simple but yet effective

Worth the time. Great!!

This book was exactly on point. I suggest reading it to anyone who operates a cell phone.

Very worthwhile read!

The information in this book is very much needed and it will be very helpful to those with anxiety! Simple ideas but very important ideas which people have forgotten in our high paced world

very good :)
