2/5 stars
How’d I find it? I borrowed the audiobook from DC Library and listened as I weeded in the late summer heat, arguably a double dose of anti-anxiety activity.
Why not 3 or more stars? I will preface this by saying how much I love the physicality of this book. The hardcover is designed gorgeously, and I have purchased this as a gift for readers who I think will enjoy it. That said, I'm not the right reader for this book. Think of First, We Make the Beast Beautiful as Anxiety for Beginners. Alas, I am no beginner and gained little from learning about what makes someone else anxious and how they cope with it.
