Thank you to the publisher and to Net Galley. I appreciate the ARC for review. My review opinion is my own and cross posted.
I never read the author's other books but I am a fan of self help books. Who is today's society is not riddled with anxiety and worry between the state of our country, our environmental decline and the economy ? We can all use a little help in the form of self study and learning a new viewpoint. So I went into this book with a open mind . I did enjoy the humor as you normally do not find humor in the author's anecdotes. I liked that it is a journal that I can refer to again and again. . I admit it did help me determine how to work with my anxiety in other method;s regular self help books do not. So I enjoyed the learning experience and will continue to do the journal .
The art of not giving a f*ck has been a topic of conversation for several years now. I am not a person who deals with general anxiety and have not read any of the other books in this group. So, why did I choose to read this one? Well, the title made me laugh and I was interested in how a journal would work on my Kindle.
Early in this journal, there is a quiz. The quiz is designed to help you identify what kind of anxiety responses you are experiencing. I ended up with a score of no anxiety, maybe I should gift this book. That was good news, and I read the remaining pages anyhow.
There was a lot of blank space in this journal, not a lot to read. But what was there was humorous and insightful. I can understand why so many people enjoy Knight's philosophy and writing.
The journal has several prompts to encourage you to think about past stressful experiences and allow you to work through them to help build new responses. I have not bought a focused, guided journal in the past, but I do think they are interesting and helpful. Taking things out of the big picture to explore them individually can certainly be helpful. For the Kindle version, one would certainly need an additional notebook. And maybe it would be nice to use that notebook solely for responding to this journal.
This journal is scheduled to be available at the end of October, just in time to record all our holiday anxieties.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book. I have voluntarily left this review.
