definitely was a good audiobook. as someone who watched to dan's videos for years i felt like it was no different listening to him for 6 hours. this was my first venture into mental health books or self-care books. the exercises were nice and i feel like i could come back to some of these sections as a reminder during hard times.
but overall i wasnt blown away with the knowledge that was bestowed upon me. i did enjoy dan's humor and the times i could really feel his authentic voice and experience. i feel like with the goal he had in mind he accomplished it. however i feel like if he had gone more in a personal route like his "daniel and depression" video then it wouldve hit stronger. the parts where dan talks about his personal life in small anecdotes were easily my favorite parts.
sometimes within the audiobook itself it more just felt like a long draw of information. which could just be kinda boring. but thats why you are sorta told that you can skip sections and to take what applies to you.
i feel like this book would be more helpful for those who are newly dealing with their mental health issues. so just because i didnt get the experience and knew some of this information already doesnt mean that its the case like that for everyone.
i definitely feel like my score would change if i used these guides and if i were to come back to these sections. the 3/5 experience more came from trying to experience the whole thing at once. which i dont think is how this book is meant to be read.
but overall i love dan and im really proud of this amazing book he has put together. he truly is making a difference and im glad i can continue to show my support for his works.

This book should be required reading for literally everyone. Genuine advice, practical applications, and a dash of dark humor. I wish I’d had this book about ten, even twenty years ago.

3.75 // reading this in tandem with "no one asked for this" by cassie david was such a breath of fresh air. the last two chapters paired together so well. thank you, dan.

من ۸-۹ ساله فعالیت‌های دن رو و دو سه ساله پیج های مختلف سلامت روان رو توی پلتفرم‌های مختلف دنبال می‌کنم و به همین خاطر برام مطالب جدید زیادی نداشت
به طور کلی این کتاب یه رفرنس و برای نشون دادن راه‌های فرار از افسردگی یا اختلال اضطرابی نیست و نمی‌تونه به هیچ وجه مثل یک تراپیست رفتار کنه(فکر نمی‌کنم هیچ کتابی بتونه در واقع)ا
اما به نظرم این،اون کتابیه که باید برای افرادی خریداری بشه که فکر می‌کنن "سلامت روان موضوعیه که فقط برای افراد مبتلا به بیماری روان مطرحه" تا بدونن چطور باید به خودشون و سلامت روانشون اهمیت بدن
بهترین نکته در موردش همینه که نه تنها در تکست ،در ساب-تکست هم می‌شه پذیرش دن رو نسبت به خودِ چندین سال پیشش دید و به نظرم همین خوندن کتاب رو تجربه‌ی شیرینی می‌کنه و می‌تونه برای نوجوونا کتاب خیلی خوبی باشه تا مثل خیلی از ما بزرگترا نصف زمان زندگیشون رو درگیر سلف-لوثینگ نباشند

I was pleasantly surprised with this book. For one thing, it feels very sincere - clearly a lot of thought, care, and love was put into it. I was afraid it would be a cash grab-y YouTuber book with little substance, but it really wasn’t.
Dan’s voice is very clear throughout the book and he constantly keeps things fun, lighthearted, and interesting. Many self-help books feel too cheesy, but his isn’t despite the “lol random” jokes thrown in. Although it’s certainly not a definitive guide, I think this book is a great place to start learning about mental health.
