Publisher's Summary

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).

Good content - poor production

The author & reader should have invested in a better microphone.
I don’t want to hear you turning the book or have poor sound quality.
Only thing missing is a bird or a dog barking in the background.
I’ll probably buy the hard copy to get the content
Damn shame!

Narration

The content is great however the narration really let this material down.

The audio sounds like it’s been recorded in a sparsely furnished room, as it’s tinny and has a distinct echo.

The narrator speaks incredibly fast, like she’s trying to say all the words at once. The space and breath that should exist between punctuation to permit the words enough time to settle simply isn’t there. Finally, the narrator is speaking so fast that her punctuation often deteriorated to the the point that words begin to slur together and it becomes difficult to decipher what she has said…further compounded by the speed.

On quite a few occasions I found myself exhausted trying to listen and had to turn it off.

I wasn’t able to finish the audio version of the book and instead switched to a kindle version and just read it the old fashioned way.

The language is too distracting

I swear a lot, the title swears in it, and yet I still wasn't prepared for the distracting delivery in the book. I couldn't get through the whole thing which is disappointing since, I get the sense that the book itself is probably informative.
I guess I've now realised that when trying to deliver an intelligent message, swearing actually steals the lime light. In this book it was just a bit excessive as well.
In terms of the content, I personally find it to be a dumbed down version of a smart idea. It's not for me.

Interesting concepts, sound quality is off putting

Some interesting concepts covered in this book. The sound quality is really off putting as there is echo and at times you can hear where new audio has been added.

Recorded on an iPhone?

A pretty poor quality recording and editing - distracts from good content on ACT. Was very hard to listen to.

Laugh Therapy

So enjoyable, so helpful and so easily digestible. A great way to confront yourself, and your bad behaviours while all the time laughing.
