About this listen

A no-nonsense and helpful guide on how to cope with a slew of mental-health issues that are hell-bent on ruining the lives of millions of people worldwide

Our brains do their best to help us out, but every so often they can be real assholes - having meltdowns, getting addicted to things, or shutting down completely at the worst possible moments. Your brain knows it's not good to do these things, but it can't help it sometimes - especially if it's obsessing about trauma it can't overcome. That's where this life-changing book comes in.

With humor, patience, science, and lots of good-ole swearing, Dr. Faith explains what's going on in your skull, and talks you through the process of retraining your brain to respond appropriately to the non-emergencies of everyday life, and to deal effectively with old, or newly acquired, traumas (particularly post-traumatic stress disorder).

This book was interesting and easy to understand and follow. Many great explanations of the issues covered along with techniques on how to employ the suggested self-help steps and stages. A lot of the points are backed up with quotes and ideas from other renowned psychologists and experts in the field.

The only criticisms were that the audio quality wasn't fantastic, but it didn't really impact on my receiving the content fully. The second point was that there were , for me, a few too many expletives and I found that they detracted from the narrative a little initially. That said, I should have anticipated this from the title of the audiobook.

Full of useful advice and techniques.

I'm foul mouthed and swear. A lot. But it did still take me a while to get into this book as it felt like swearing was used way too frequently, a bit like it was trying too hard to be cool?

Once I got into it though, I realised it was written in more of a conversational, natural tone and the swearing didn't jar as much.

The author is highly credible and cites numerous sources throughout the book and holds views and provides advice that is relatable, actionable and helpful.

Many of the things I already knew, but benefitted hugely from the reminder and reinforcement.

For those who aren't full on psychology or science nerds, but want to understand a bit more about why they feel anxious and how to deal with it, then I think this is the ideal starting point and I enjoyed it.

One negative is that the sound quality isn't professional level/great, but it's certainly not awful enough to render it unlistenable.

A good book once you get past the swearing

I really enjoyed this book. It offered a lot of great lessons and as a trainee therapist, it spoke directly to me. I should have expected a lot of fu#ks from the title but I did feel some of the message may have got lost in the mist of swearing.

It was real, authentic and although very serious, it didn't take itself too seriously offering the reader the option to disregard. I won't be disregarding, it is a great book.

A great book although...

I loved this book for the simple reason 5hat it was easy to understand and very helpful in a time when you feel everything is going bat shit crazy. Faith has a unique way of delivery that was perfect for me and I'll probably listen to this book a lot.

Simply Amazing

First off, a lot of people seem to have a problem with the amount of swearing in this book. If you don’t like swearing, why would you read a book that has the word f*ck in the title?

Anyway, this is a great book, I personally have taken a lot from this. The production is bad, it sound like she recorded it on her phone from the bathroom, so not to the usual high standards of Audible but we can’t have everything.

I imagine this is what a psychology book written by Carmela Soprano would be like. A real no nonsense, thoroughly informative and wonderfully sweary tour of common mental ailments and how we can rewire our brains so they don’t dominate our lives.

Great book, awful production.
