About this listen

You know those days when you just can't even? When everything is haywire and everyone, including yourself, seems to be against you? Your to-do list is a mile long; your kid is sick, traffic sucks, and you just spilled coffee all over yourself as you were about to walk out the door? How do you cope? We guess you could say "f--k it" and go back to bed with a bottle of whiskey at 10 a.m., but check out these more sustainable and helpful alternatives by Dr. Faith first.This is the first book of its kind to break down coping skills by type of situation. Includes skills from CBT, DBT, ACT, positive psychology, mindfulness-based stress reduction, somatic experiencing, Jungian therapy, and more.

The review is supposed to be about the actual tips and strategies of the book, the consistency of the narrator’s tone and appropriate inflection etc - not your inability to tolerate (in the author’s own paraphrasing of the timeless Simpson’s quote, in another of her books) ‘a perfectly cromulant word’ eg: eff-you-see-Kay. (Go to the Audible website and read Christopher’s review from 23.03.23 - spot on, ‘swearing is part of her brand’.)

Your reviews say more about you than the book. It distorts it’s worth with your angry 1 star reviews of a FREE book nobody forced you to read. In doing so, you might turn somebody away from an audiobook that really helps them - who knows, even change their life for the better.
So please, a warning is fine, but cut the drama and under-rating.

Speaking of which -
Do I think this book is 5 stars worthy?
No. (More like 4)

Am I going to balance the scales from the ratings distortion caused by ignorant, self-absorbed muppets?

You’re f*č£ing right I am, you silly s**!s :D (jokes, bnr)

PS: I actually found the book quite relaxing and engaging, and whilst not all of it was applicable to my GAD/PTSD and it’s tendency to make me catastrophise, as well as being quite short (hey, it’s free) there was plenty of practical advice I took from it that made it well worth the time. The lack of the ‘just say yes/manifest your reality’ stuff that permeates the self help category was really refreshing, and the way the author reframes modes of thinking about & how we relate to oneself and others was great, due partly to the relatable scenarios and examples she used.

Like a lot of people, I find books read by the author much more fun and absorbing, and this one may as well have been - the emphasis and tone were so spot on. Great energy and approach applied to an issue most of us will deal with in one form or another throughout our lives.

Cheers for offering your professional experience, and to you and Audible for making it free :)
