first, we make the beast beautiful: A New Story About Anxiety by Sarah Wilson

3.0

I probably wouldn’t return to a 3 star book in usual circumstances but this one I will. The lack of stars are for editing and structure and the inaccessibility for some of the solutions (which can work if it’s just a memoir, but if it’s a self-help book having a week to ourselves to think: ashram or sans ashram is pretty unrealistic). However, she approaches anxiety from so many angles, peppered with thoughts of so many great thinkers and has many accessible thoughts and solutions I want to go back to the book from time to time and check in with what I’ve learned.
