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).

Can't recommend, too many cuss words
The book does have a good story, and is well written for most people to understand
But the constant cuss words, just constant continuity of cuss words, what a truly tragic end for what could be a great book
It was helpful, but I cannot recommend it to anyone In my family or friends, it's just has too much cuss words
This book is in lines of the anime "Seven Deadly Sins", great stories great characters , but constant perverted action of the main character, destroyed the overall theme, no one in thier right mind will recommended it, just like this book, the content is great, but the constant cussed words destroyed it all

Decent listen
This is pretty good if you're interested in the subject matter. Although, I did find the amount of curse words present in the book a bit off putting.
But she really got me on her bit about Trauma.

A book that explains why you feel what you feel
A good introductory book that explains why we feel what we feel when we go through negative emotions such as stress, anxiety, mood swings etc. The casual style is uplifting and a good pick me up when you need it. Although I wouldn't recommend it to someone suffering from clinical depression or more severe illnesses.

nope. don't waste your time
the number of unnecessary words, phrases and repetitions makes no sense whatsoever. there are so many better books/podcasts etc on the same subject delivered in a much more cogent and comprehensible form. I tried listening to it for hours but beyond a point it became insufferable

An above average listen
The book majorly focuses on various mental illness problems. The one thing missing over here is that at some parts in the book, there is no clarity on how to get over a certain mental illness. Apart from that it is a nice informative listen.

Untuck this recording quality
The echoey recording disrupts the delivery. Audible - have some standards and get this thing re recorded.
This is a smart person - with useful info -that was recorded in a do it yourself manner.
The crap quality of recording matters - audible-wtf?

Not for intellectuals.
Looking for an intellectual, thought-provoking look at anxiety? This isn't it. This is the trashy college girl at the bar talking about her psychology class after about 4 beers. Just as she says something to grab your attention, she uses profanity in the most awkward and unprofessional way possible.

Horrible sound quality. Horrible.
Reading is difficult right now so I use audible. This book is useful, but I can never recommend the audible version because the sound is so horrible. I wonder how the author would feel if a recording engineer was out there trying to pass as a therapist. It’s almost impossible to listen to. It sound like she’s in a warehouse, edits are obvious (the including clipped words, the ambient sound is stressful — like a bad smell, the background noises, and even extra voices(!) now and then, are distracting. I hope she re-does it properly soon so I can recommend this recording. Her voice is fine, the sound quality is, yes, horrible — as if she just turned on her computer and started talking. No excuse for this except ignorance - it’s too easy to record decent sound nowadays. If I sound angry, well, that’s probly why I need this book. Look forward to when I can hear it.

Horrible f*cking recording (and the cussing like a sailor is really annoying)
Ugh - I really want to like this book. I think the information is highly valuable and I was looking forward to listening... but then I started listening. First, did the author record this on her phone in her kitchen? Why oh why was there not more effort put in to getting a clear recording of this book? The tinny, echo is distracting, and -hello! - it’s an AUDIO book! A f*cking audiobook (as our author would say). Which leads me to my next point. The vulgar language - distracting and ridiculous. We get it - she’s a doctor who talks (and writes?) like a college girl who’s had twenty too many wine coolers (again). Yuck. Just dumb. Listening to this book makes me want to drink twenty too many wine coolers. Enough.

Poor Audio Quality
Unfortunately this wasn't recorded with good/professional equipment and sounds like someone is yelling at you from across the room on speaker phone. very unpleasant to listen to. The information isn't especially helpful for anyone already familiar with therapy and a mindfulness about their behavior. Again the audio is a big drag

If you're struggling with anxiety, this book really does work. Fancy Dr. lady actually gives you helpful ways to say "screw you anxiety! I don't F with you" I wish the quality of the audio was better, but small price to pay when anxiety rules your life like it did mine.

Useful And Scientific Advice with a Lot of F**ks
First off, if you're going to rate a book one star because there are minor audio issues in the recording, please learn something about anger from this book.
Now, to the point. The author offers a lot of useful tools for dealing with all kinds of things including depression, anger, anxiety, grief, and addiction. Really helps break down what is happening when you feel these things. I'd recommend it to everyone honestly.

Too much swearing!!!
Even though her intention is to explain how the brain works and why we get certain reactions from it, there is too much anger and swearing!! instead of putting me in a relaxing mode so that I can concentrate, the narrator’s voice is irritating and the swearing is unbearable! If I could I would ask my money back
There are many other books form which you can get the same information but in much more respectful way.

Good content, terrible audio
I picked up some good info from the book, plus a few insightful things that will help me moving forward. Faith G.Harper is very likeable but the audio quality is awful! It’s like she’s recorded it in the bath under the water and it’s poorly edited. I’m not sure how this could be charged as a whole credit, I get one credit a month so paid £8 for this - not worth it.

Skip it
Horrendous audio quality and littering of swear words make this unlistenable. I’ve got no problem with swearing, I do it all the time, but when your trying to explain something nuanced and complex you need to widen your vocabulary a bit. Altogether it just sounds immature and makes you question the author’s understanding and authority on the subject. They may well be an expert, but they don’t come across as one.

Strictly for teens who don't mind swearing
Couldn't get through it as three things really bothered me; the author is inordinately proud of her PhD and brings it up every few minutes; she speaks as though she is counselling teens and adds lots of swearing to appeal to them; and the sound quality is really poor.

Too fast
The author talks way too fast and the amount of swearing in it isn’t really necessary at certain points you can hear vehicles in the background. The audio sounds so far away. Waste of money.

If Quentin Tarantino wrote self help books.
Great messages and advice totally undermined by the bad language of the author. Although it may be more convincing if Samual Jackson was doing the reading! Thank fu@k it was free.

Simply explains complex emotions & reactions.
Having had therapy I was already aware of a lot of what is discussed, but Faith has explained it all in a way that has helped me understand & realise things on a different level. I would recommend this for anyone dealing with personal trauma, only shame was the quality of recording.

frustrating to listen to
I enjoyed the content and think Faith delivered the content of the book well, however the audio recording itself wasn't great. it was echoing, sounded tinny and at times I found it challenging to hear as the volume dropped out.
if you can stick with it, it was helpful, however I hope that this is re-recorded in a better quality recording.

Basic and unhelpful
Firstly, the audio quality of this book is terrible. There was a lot of ambient noise that was really distracting. Secondly, perhaps the author intended all the swearing to make her "edgy" or "not like all the other" books out there with her hip swears, but it just sounded stupid. It didn't add anything of value to this narrative. Thirdly, there is nothing in this you can't learn for zero dollars simply following up sources in wikipedia or youtube for the same topics. Fourthly, I checked out when she started talking about alternative remedies and "energy healers" as viable treatments.
This whole book is basically "this is the chemical response for trauma" and "if you want it to go away, you have to fix it" (duh, that's why we picked up this book), then "here are some methods for fixing it - change your diet, do more exercise, get to the root of the problem, go talk to someone about it etc etc". Pretty sure anyone trying to figure out how to manage their mental health for real will already know about these. I don't recommend this at all.

Pragmatic and easy to grasp
Riddled with swear words and a bit of ... fluff, the book does give some good nitty gritty science info whilst being broken down with some more... "shallow" language and terminology.
Has some fantastic concepts and a great into for anyone wanting to go down the path of self help as one of their first books.
The audio of being filmed with less than ideal sound proofing, you hear pages turn and a slight room echo.

Don’t get it!
Omg this is book is so badly narrated that even if the context was good you do not want to listen. Don’t waste your money or time. I’m just surprised, didn’t she write the book herself? Yet she can’t read it properly?!!! She reads like a child there is no way you want to respect her enough to listen to her “words or wisdom”. She’s also trying so hard with the swear words trying to come across cool like Mark Manson with his “The Subtle Art or Not Giving a Fuck” book. Copying his title style she has loyally fucked up!
Don’t get it it’s bad!

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!

Could be good but can’t listen through it
This has the making of being a great listen. However the poor recoding is so distracting I only got 15 mins through. The low hum of the recording device and frequent creeks and groans of background noises were literally all I heard. I think this could benefit from professional recording.
Glad I only used a credit.
