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

I read this as part of the Big Library Read program. The author’s privilege is all over the book and at no point is race ever addressed, and poverty is given a brief mention only for the author to tell everyone to take more vacations. There’s also SO much unnecessary fat-shaming in this book. There are a few useful takeaways, but I think everything good here can probably be found in other books.

Ikke sådan crazy revolutionizing, men alligevel Nice nogle gange at blive mindet om måder at calme Down på når man er en lidt anxious gal som mig + very easy to read hvilket nok bidrager meget til ratingen

I stopped reading this book after 3 chapters...it is so full of pretentious privilege and complete narcissism. This guy is clueless as to what really causes people stress, things like actual mental illness, economic distress, substance use and more. This was especially difficult to swallow during covid...I checked it out because it was recommended on Libby, shame on them for promoting this psycho dribble. I wish I could give it zero stars.

Audiobook
Przyjemnie się słuchało, ale od połowy książki pojawiło się zbyt wzmianek o tym, ze autor jest ojcem. Nie wniosła jakoś dużo, ale jako audio do gotowania idealne

This book was self aggrandizing and was written for the Caucasian middle and upper class majority who are stressed by not being able to find the correct vacation rental or a bad day on the road. I am a social worker and to read that someone describes themselves as “homeless” and qualify it with “my parents would have welcomed me back any time” and that the person could sleep in the college study hall or at a friends. Sorry that is not stress but a teenager struggling with personal angst and rules. This book does not address real issues that people face that cannot be addressed by “being positive”. Many people are dealing with sick children, job loss, poverty, limited support and a car that will not start with no money to fix it. Smacks of entitlement and platitudes.

Picked up as this year's Big Library Read.
Not my usual jam, I found it neither funny nor self-helpful.
Do people really need to be told this stuff? Does it change their lives? It's basic stuff. Don't stress about traffic, you're not going to die from it and you can't change it. The end.
