I come from a long line of anxious people, though I think each generation has gotten better at dealing with it. Swirling around in my brain are the tools to deal with my anxiety, depression, anger, and everything else that holds me back from being the best Onion possible; but every once in a while I need to read a book to remind of where those damn tools are, and how to use them. And sometimes I even learn some new things along the way.

Unf*ck Your Anxiety was a good book; it's tiny (smaller than my hand), about 115 pages, and written in an easy to understand way. The author, Faith G Harper has a lot of letters after her name, but when I read their writing it feels like a friend talking to me in a very down to earth manner. There are parts that I didn't find too helpful, and I don't know if I learned anything new, but it definitely inspired me to get deeper with my meditation and pay more attention to what I'm putting into my body, while also reminding me that anxiety is nothing to be ashamed of, even if a lot of people act like it is. It's normal, and—like a lot of things—used to serve a real purpose (and still sometimes does).

This world is stressful, and epigenetics are real, so we're not only carrying the angst of living in the world in 2024, but also that of our ancestors. Not only that, but the future isn't looking like it's going to be any better. If you're dealing with anxiety (and I know you are) and either have no idea what to do with it, or need a little jump start, I suggest picking up this book.

If you do read it and want to talk about it, please let me know. And if you work at Microcosm, good job, but maybe pay a bit more attention to editing. If you're looking for an editor who works cheap, hit me up.

The only reason this book is popular is because the use of the taboo work F*ck! It is very known from a psychological aspect that the use of dirty taboo words can and will elicit positive and/or negative emotions vehemently in our brain.

In this example, the book title has made more adults snicker like kids buying this book because of the title alone; however, the content in the book was lacking and underwhelming to help those who are in real need.

there is a lot more science and info on oral sex than i expected in here, and most of it is interesting. there's also a lot on boundaries, communication, and safety. i love her tone and the openness and intersectionality with which she discusses everything. it's a lot less, um, hands-on than i was hoping for.

i was really disappointed with the extent of the typos in this. from missing punctuation to half sentences and repeating words.

This is a good beginner's book for getting into the self-improvement mindset and approach. With this book, you can understand just how our brains are wired, and how they can start to be rewired. It seemed like Dr. Harper was trying a bit too hard to be cool or edgy, using (even for me) an obscene amount of obscenities and slang to get her point across... or maybe she really acts that way. But, the overall messages were delivered well enough.
