This book seemed like it could be interesting, but I quickly realized it wasn't for me.

Much of the the book was dedicated to explaining Buddhism, Yoga, Reiki, and Chakras, none of which were mentioned on the description of the book. These aren't topics of interest to me, and additionally, the explanations felt a little...shallow and without respect for the cultural and religious importance of these various practices. The insistence that the reader MUST believe I Chakras to find mindfulness was off-putting to me. You have anxiety? Just sit and breathe and slow down and ignore it! That's about as deep as things are going to get here.

As someone with ADHD I was bothered by the discussion of doshas. I don't know much about Ayurveda, and the brief explanation of it didn't give me enough context to understand the culture and context of these beliefs. The insinuation that I talk too quickly and often because of "vata," which was not clearly explained, felt dismissive of both the Ayurveda and of ADHD, anxiety, and other conditions. This could've easily been rectified by a conversation about how these beliefs work alongside/explain conditions, but the book simply ignored that there are very real conditions/mental health issues.

I skimmed the exercises hoping to find something useful, but the exercises were basically...sit, breathe, chill out, but for different amounts of time, or in different positions. I didn't find anything new here that I didn't already know.

I'm guessing the "irreverent voice" is supposed to be the selling point of this book, but it felt in-genuine and a bit disrespectful given the topic of the book.

Maybe others will have a different opinion, but some more depth and clearer marketing are needed here.
