Unf*ck Your Anxiety

Using Science to Rewire Your Anxious Brain

De: Faith G. Harper

Narrado por: Erin Bennet

Anxiety is a survival skill gone haywire. It happens when our brain is working so hard to protect us that it forgets to notice that the danger has passed. It feels like choking, stifling, smothering, tingling, panicking - our brains cut out and we start to make bad decisions - all normal anxiety reactions.

Dr. Faith G. Harper, author of the best-selling Unf--k Your Brain and This is Your Brain on Depression packs a ton of knowledge and help into this practical manual. She helps us understand the history and science of anxiety, realize when it’s become a serious problem, know the difference between anxiety and other conditions, and cope with it in the moment as well as addressing it long term.

This audiobook is a lifesaver for panic attacks, breaking out of flight-fight-freeze responses, similar and co-occurring conditions, and for chronic anxiety. Straightforward, funny, kind, and judgment-free, it includes a wide range of tips, exercises, and medical interventions. It’s also good for people who aren’t burdened by daily anxiety but want to cope better with the tough life situations we all face. Listen to this audiobook and breathe!

Easily digestible information

The author delivers this in a "real talk" sort of style, which I appreciate and find refreshing. People complaining that it's giving "White guilt" vibes, or "liberal agenda" feedback obviously have not paid attention to what is going on. The White patriarchal, capitalistic, and social issues that are brought up are absolutely a real thing and the cause of a many stressors in our lives. She delivers facts, not opinions. This is a book based on scientific proof and absolute truths while providing valuable tools on how to cope with and understand our anxiety. I'd recommend this to anyone and please understand, no matter what your personal politics are, you can fact check everything she is referring to when it comes to the social issues that contribute to the rise in our society's mental health problems at large. Leave your political beliefs at the door.

Great book.

Coming from a male with mental health issues. This book is a very good first start. Definitely recommend.

Great audio book

this isn’t the book for you, but I found it refreshingly honest. Faiths take on health issues is well rounded and not just medical treatments but natural based treatments as well, she lays it out so a normal person will understand and doesn’t confuse you with all the “sciencey stuff”. I wish I lived in Texas so I could go she her!

I'm sure using AI voice saved money...

great info , especially for someone who's very dedicated to managing their anxiety but man hearing an AI voice read it just makes it sound like text book jargon that is hard to keep listening to. I know it was written with language to sound more human but the delivery is unmistakably mechanical. still a good listen for the material alone.

the verbiage and totally down to earth attitude she gad towards everything

the best book ever. I loved the narrator. I'm going to be seeking out this narrator specifically

"unfine AF"

I absolutely loved the delivery of this book. it really helped to solidify that it is ok to be "unfine AF" and that there are ways around it and ways to get out of it. highly recommend to anyone interested in the science behind your anxiety and honestly, just ways to unf*ck your anxiety! great book.

Had to Read

So most chapters really gave valuable information but others not so much. For those clueless this is great. For those who’ve read up on anxiety some parts will be review.

Validating, enlightening, funny

I enjoyed this reading! I laughed and felt seen. Validation along with some nerdy info was helpful and insightful.

Some very basic info but good nonetheless

I like the author and her the open style of communication she uses. She’s got a few decent books. This one wasn’t anything new or very original, but it was good info regardless.

Easy to follow and Understand

I was able to understand what was happening with me and gave some great options of what I could do. Some I already knew but needed the reminder.
