Everything Isn't Terrible: Conquer Your Insecurities, Interrupt Your Anxiety, and Finally Calm Down by Kathleen Smith

3.0

I started this audiobook almost two months ago... and then stopped driving so it was tough to finish, but I did. I suffer from anxiety, so I was going to listen to this for myself. However, this seemed more regarding anxiety having to do with relationships (partners, friends, family, co-workers) and what your role is in those relationships. It was all relatable and all done well, but it didn't hit what I was looking for.

I liked the stories from therapy that led into each chapter and they did relate, but it did start to seem repetitive. The same advice was given over and over again. The end was nice where the author could relate her own anxiety, but again, her anxiety wasn't related to a lot of the other stories. I wanted more about dealing with your own fears and anxiety that is unrelated to how you relate to others - it's just all yours, in your head. I didn't get that.

Thank you to Libro.fm for an audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
