About this audiobook

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 nonemergencies of everyday life, and to deal effectively with old, or newly acquired, traumas (particularly post-traumatic stress disorder).

sounds like there's to much going on with trying to keep pop culture groovy man. this person doesn't swear usually and should to try to to get their point across. you get lost in the sing songy and try hard effort of the reading. laughing at her own run forest run joke should give you enough of an idea of what your in for. it's read to fast from notes that don't blend or feel organic. this one needs to be scrapped and done again. just because you got a degree in something doesn't naturally mean your going to write a brilliant book that's helpful. this is exactly what it would look like. not everyone should put their thoughts to paper or paper then record it or you end up with this hopeless piece that sounds terrible. Give it a miss.📉

Origin of the alphabet; number line, computer is the same place. There isn't a calendar without a programmer; different ones in society are for companies to supply basic utilities; motor vehicles, food clothes & shelter. Computer programs give the answers to outstanding questions; humans do not. They also drive all artificial moving objects; humans do not. One program designs all the building and a different one does cars; the program includes after they are built schedules for them and us. Cameras are a derivative of computer separate from video recorder for unreal pictures and photograph obstructing justice to disappear or vanish includes video tapes & DVD's.

Unfortunately the recording sounds like it was done in someone's kitchen. The author tried way too hard to be hip with pop culture references, lingoisms and with what I can only describe as a "melodically abrasive" delivery. I get that it is supposed to be easily accessible to it's intended audience but there actually doesn't need to be SO much swearing and emotion in the delivery. The result is fatiguing and detracts from the intended message.
