This self-help audiobook guides the readers through his/her tangles i.e. problems in our lives. It gives inspiring guidance on how to firstly recognise the tangles and secondly try to address i.e. untangle them. Thirdly, it provides not only advice but realistic strategies to apply. This is all done in a friendly, encouraging tone so that no problem seems too large or complicated. It is a book one will return to for advice repeatedly.

If you’re interested in books where you work through your past trauma, heal your inner child, or get productive in areas that you historically cannot be productive, this is a good read to add to your list. The tone is quite different from psychology self-help books and productivity books. While books in this arena often lean more towards being rigid or berating, this book has a gentle, guiding voice throughout that invites you into curiosity about your own stuck-ness without forcing you to address it if you’re not ready.

This self-help book describes a method that can assist you in dealing with personal issues and difficulties we all experience in our lives, such as anxiety, self-criticism, which can lead to issues such as overeating, abuse of alcoholism, depression. The book describes tools and strategies that can help to deal with our inner blocking that keeps us stuck.
I enjoyed this book which I read by audio, read by the two authors. It is insightful and compassionate. The authors use their personal experiences along with their study, research to describe the methods. I appreciated the pace and also how well the narration of the book was provided. I found it very interesting, and also believe that the methods were useful and that I will be able to use some of these going forward. I recommend this book to anyone who wishes to reshape their "stuckness." Thank you NetGalley and Calluna Press for the opportunity of reading this book.

“Untangling” is a calming audiobook that explores deep struggles like depression. It uses curiosity and compassion to address these issues, with concepts like "Impossible Stuckness" and Powers of Presence. It's a must-listen for anyone looking to overcome life's challenges.

This book is certainly well thought out and full of information as well as applicable examples. It provided new lingo and things to think about, which I am grateful for. I also got lost in all of the new vocabulary, and the cadence of the book felt too slow and then too fast.

I found this book helpful. As a person that struggles with trauma and separating it from my daily life I will be trying these tools going forward.

This is a solid and thoughtful self-help book. It doesn't cover new ground, but will be appealing to readers. The dual voices work well together

Thank you, Calluna Press, for the advance reading copy.

I am quite pleased with the authors’ narrative of the book. I feel we need more of such books to read and discuss when we as adults inevitably feel too overwhelmed and feel lost and confused.

Read this book to understand such similar behaviours we adults keep on indulging in but would feel guilty later on. Things that we keep repeating despite knowing that we would keep repeating.

Yes, we cannot avoid all these ‘tangles’ but let’s talk about what we can do about it in the long run. Here comes the real deal about this book.

I love how the authors give insightful ways we can make efforts to the common issues we encounter but feel rather awkward to discuss with friends and family.

And yes, we need such books more and more despite the popular older ones on similar topics. Because no one book will help everyone equally.

Please keep in mind that the book discusses on eating disorder, alcohol addiction and mental health issues.

This is a good audiobook on addressing issues in a direct but considerate way.

It was excellently narrated by the authors, and I look forward to dipping in and out of it. It's nothing groundbreaking, in my opinion, but it's worth a listen.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for the ALC.
