To all the reviewer Karen’s complaining about language

The review is supposed to be about the actual tips and strategies of the book, the consistency of the narrator’s tone and appropriate inflection etc - not your inability to tolerate (in the author’s own paraphrasing of the timeless Simpson’s quote, in another of her books) ‘a perfectly cromulant word’ eg: eff-you-see-Kay. (Go to the Audible website and read Christopher’s review from 23.03.23 - spot on, ‘swearing is part of her brand’.)

Your reviews say more about you than the book. It distorts it’s worth with your angry 1 star reviews of a FREE book nobody forced you to read. In doing so, you might turn somebody away from an audiobook that really helps them - who knows, even change their life for the better.
So please, a warning is fine, but cut the drama and under-rating.

Speaking of which -
Do I think this book is 5 stars worthy?
No. (More like 4)

Am I going to balance the scales from the ratings distortion caused by ignorant, self-absorbed muppets?

You’re f*č£ing right I am, you silly s**!s :D (jokes, bnr)

PS: I actually found the book quite relaxing and engaging, and whilst not all of it was applicable to my GAD/PTSD and it’s tendency to make me catastrophise, as well as being quite short (hey, it’s free) there was plenty of practical advice I took from it that made it well worth the time. The lack of the ‘just say yes/manifest your reality’ stuff that permeates the self help category was really refreshing, and the way the author reframes modes of thinking about & how we relate to oneself and others was great, due partly to the relatable scenarios and examples she used.

Like a lot of people, I find books read by the author much more fun and absorbing, and this one may as well have been - the emphasis and tone were so spot on. Great energy and approach applied to an issue most of us will deal with in one form or another throughout our lives.

Cheers for offering your professional experience, and to you and Audible for making it free :)

Potty language unnecessary

Good content, but really off putting how much swearing is in it.

And I actually have a potty mount myself!

OK enough

Others here have complained about the swearing but it's not particularly that much of an issue, it's more that it's not really necessary for emphasis, it seems to be more to fatten out the content - imagine if the essays you needed to write in school would allow swear words you could reach 10,000 words very quickly, and without having to think terribly hard about what to fill the pages with.
The book could be half the size if it was to reduce the swearing, again I don't really have an issue with it, but it's just wasting my time when I'm looking for a resource to use.

The content itself is OK. Nothing new for those experienced in dumpster fires, nor is it particularly well presented, it's like the other books out there except regurgitated slightly differently by a kid wearing baggy jeans, an oversize tee, and a sideways limp bizkit cap, maybe in attempt to reach a new market that believes self help without swear words is for wimps, but with lotsa cursin y'all can feel me makin yo neocortex lit.

Nicely read with enthusiasm, the narrator seemed to enjoy this one.
