Did find it a little confusing in the way it conflicts with calorie counting, but I like the idea of it and love the sugar free recipes, since I have a hard time with my sweet tooth.
Anxiety folks, check this out!
It isn't perfect but I am already planning to buy this in paperback (I just listened to the audiobook which is read by the author) so I can highlight and tab it!

I didn’t really relate to Sarah Wilson as in her life before giving up sugar she didn’t consume much anyway. I would have liked to read success stories of people that drank loads of Coca Cola or ate cakes and cookies in vast portions and see them tackle a sugar detox program. I feel this book is targeted more to people that have already embraced ‘clean’ eating and want to experiment even more.

This turned out to be a great read for me. I wasn't looking for medical advice or self-help. I was looking for a philosophical/personal exploration of anxiety -- and that's just what Sarah Wilson provides. This book is really more of a memoir, not science or medical advice.
The main takeaway of this book for me was to frame anxiety as existential. In other words, at the bottom of all my small worries are big worries -- meaning of life kinda stuff. It helps to think of my anxiety as a symptom of caring. In that sense, I don't have to resist it, I can sit in it. Like one of those finger traps you can only get out of when you stop trying to get out of it.
I also liked how Wilson calls not-anxious people "life naturals." Does being alive come naturally to you? Then you might be a Life Natural.
Wilson made me want to read Montaigne, so now I have [b:How to Live: A Life of Montaigne in One Question and Twenty Attempts at An Answer|7624457|How to Live A Life of Montaigne in One Question and Twenty Attempts at An Answer|Sarah Bakewell|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1320521919l/7624457._SX50_.jpg|10108715] checked out.… (meer)
