Publisher's Summary

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!

Good overview of anxiety.

The author brings her experience as a counselor and researched to provide an overview of anxiety and tips for dealing with it.

Those not used to strong language may be in for a bit of a shock.

Fantastic book

The communication style is very effective. Terms are easy to understand, and the language kept your attention. The breathing exercises are most helpful.

Why the use vulgar language?

Be prepared for cussing but it gets U in the feel.

I enjoyed it. Yes there is plenty of cussing but I will say it puts you into the feel of it. like a check valve releasing the pressure. Helps you understand that anxiety isn't a nicey nicey thing and its frustrating for, in my situation, my son AND for my wife and I trying to help him navigate this because some times you just need to say F*@k and it ok.

Why all the swearing and "y'all" just sounds dumb.

It was short and some good thoughts but presentation was bad. Good use of the english language is becoming uncommon.

Far too much vulgar language

I really don't see why they decided to cheapen the message with a bunch of foul language. Any professional book that I know of does not have nearly this many swears, if any. It just ruined the book for me and made me completely miss the message. I understand swearing, I listen to GaryVee and love his message, but you can tell that it's not just swearing for the sake of swearing. When you write a book and have somebody else narrate it, it comes across as gratuitous vulgarity.

Embarrassing

Cringe-worthy fail at trying to be funny, sound cool, and be irreverent. Basically only succeeds at being crass. I'm glad this was included and didn't cost me anything.
