I think like most people, the last few years have been difficult for me.

Feeling that before the pandemic were easily manageable became all encompassing. I had conversations about emotions and mental health, that I never had before in my life. And sometimes those feelings were too big to even talk about.

That’s where this book comes in, but it doesn’t just talk about what those feelings are and how they make you feel, this books give you tools on how to make things better. How to reframe those emotions. Ways to turn negative self talk into something that is more constructive and rather than bringing you down will allow you to do better in the future.

I listened to this on audiobook, but I can definitely see how reading the physical book and doing the exercises would make a massive difference to the ultimate experience you get from it.

Definitely a book I would recommend and read again.… (mais)

I loved this book just as much as its predecessor, No Hard Feelings. Both books are written in a conversational manner, contain useful summaries of each chapter, and illustrate their points with delightful (and accurate) cartoons. I also appreciated how the authors brought their own experiences into the narrative—explaining how this book almost didn’t come to be—while at the same time acknowledging the limits of their own viewpoints. Stories from readers and other people they knew helped flesh out the chapters on seven big feelings, including burnout, perfectionism, and anger. I’ve been really feeling burned out lately, and this book came at exactly the right time. I highly recommend it and am going to have to buy a copy for myself.… (mais)
