Resumen del Editor

Anxiety is a survival skill gone haywire. It happens when our brain is working so hard to protect us that it forgets to notice that the danger has passed. It feels like choking, stifling, smothering, tingling, panicking - our brains cut out and we start to make bad decisions - all normal anxiety reactions.

Dr. Faith G. Harper, author of the best-selling Unf--k Your Brain and This is Your Brain on Depression packs a ton of knowledge and help into this practical manual. She helps us understand the history and science of anxiety, realize when it’s become a serious problem, know the difference between anxiety and other conditions, and cope with it in the moment as well as addressing it long term.

This audiobook is a lifesaver for panic attacks, breaking out of flight-fight-freeze responses, similar and co-occurring conditions, and for chronic anxiety. Straightforward, funny, kind, and judgment-free, it includes a wide range of tips, exercises, and medical interventions. It’s also good for people who aren’t burdened by daily anxiety but want to cope better with the tough life situations we all face. Listen to this audiobook and breathe!

"unfine AF"

I absolutely loved the delivery of this book. it really helped to solidify that it is ok to be "unfine AF" and that there are ways around it and ways to get out of it. highly recommend to anyone interested in the science behind your anxiety and honestly, just ways to unf*ck your anxiety! great book.

Had to Read

So most chapters really gave valuable information but others not so much. For those clueless this is great. For those who’ve read up on anxiety some parts will be review.

Validating, enlightening, funny

I enjoyed this reading! I laughed and felt seen. Validation along with some nerdy info was helpful and insightful.

Some very basic info but good nonetheless

I like the author and her the open style of communication she uses. She’s got a few decent books. This one wasn’t anything new or very original, but it was good info regardless.

the verbiage and totally down to earth attitude she gad towards everything

the best book ever. I loved the narrator. I'm going to be seeking out this narrator specifically

as always, another great book by faith g harper

I love her books, it's entertaining to hear as well as so knowledgeable. you can connect to her immediately and feel like you're safe and understood. thank you faith! keep it up.

Too many f*cks

I don't really like hearing the words f*CK and sh*t every two seconds when I'm trying to peacefully listen to a book. Unnecessary.

Also uses too many modern words and rhetoric that I don't agree with, such as "cis" and "priveleged white male." Reverse racism and too much pandering to people's "differences." Shouldn't we focus on what's the same rather than what's different? Saying "white male" and "black" is what creates difference and separation between people.

Overall I'm not sure this book actually helps much with anxiety. The only thing I figured out that helps with anxiety is awareness (to "danger"), so develop that and save your time.

Engaging and funny

I loved the narration by Erin Bennett. She really brought out Dr. Harper’s message and real approach to anxiety. Even through some of the more sciency shtuff it was engaging and insightful. Quick listen. I got through it in a day and kept laughing at how real and relatable it was.

Useful

There were some comments about racism etc. But it barely concentrated on them. So don't turn down this book over those comments!

Good read

A helpful guide to people who have a hard time managing their anxiety on a daily basis.
