iaproton's review against another edition
Too basic,too privileged and too narcissistic,mildly funny ,repetitive and not a self help book,invalidating at times. If you have any diagnosis probably not helpful for you,maybe with the exception of sleep apnea. If you can get your stress response down by changing your thoughts then great,if you have to do it through the body skip this book and look into free online videos on tapping, trauma release exercises,somatic experiencing and havening.
The Google play books extended sample should give you an idea if you want to use it to send you to sleep or if it's annoying,although the free podcast Nothing much happens is much better to relax and fall asleep to imho but is a female voice.

I was nervous that this was going to be repetitive, and it was in terms of the brand he's sticking to that involves bears and traffic, but there are so many useful tidbits and reminders in this book nevertheless. I also laughed out loud a TON all throughout the book. The guy's sarcasm is unmatched. Reading this gave me the motivation to start journaling and expressing gratitude again. It has also helped shift my mindset when it comes to little things I stress over for no reason. I'm glad I decided to pick this one up on a whim!

Picked this up as the Libby read for April. I ended up putting it down after 21%. This really surprised me because I am almost finished with my BSW and spent a lot of my undergraduate degree studying "thought training" which is essentially what this book discusses. At first I found the book enjoyable but the super casual and conversational tone ended up irritating me. I think this would be a great audiobook but it just didn't do it for me as a book.
I might give it a shot again down the road but I just couldn't get on board this time.

Easy read. A bit meandering and no real “wow”, but its a diversion from fiction books
