In The Good Books

"This is a truly remarkable read that I could not put
down. Each chapter is like a journey. Analogies lead to logical conclusions and
there are exercises to complete which I found mentally rewarding. I revisited
this book often and reread passages when I felt anxiety rising. It was
empowering owning and naming these emotions. There's a lot of brilliance and
satisfaction in taking control of managing thoughts in a healthier way, without
a focus on medication."
