The Chimp Paradox

[CrossWords]

Has anyone read this and found it helpful? Specifically, for anxiety?

I have it but the layout and poor editing is very offputting . . .

My DS read it a while ago as a career development thing, he was really impressed and recommended it to me but I haven't read it yet

I have just bought it and am starting to read it. It reads like the author thinks the person reading is a bit thick, tbh, but my gp knows him personally and said he's the dogs bollocks, so im giving it a go.

(she did not use the phrase 'dogs bollocks' )

Hahaha
I am a bit sceptical of self help books generally and not the type of person who does the exercises you're supposed to do (lists and stuff). But i really want this to work

Ha! That's exactly it - 'It reads like the author thinks the person reading is a bit thick.'

Resurrecting an old thread.

How did people get on with this book? I’m still very near the beginning, and I appreciate some of the criticisms, but a lot rings true so far.

Long way to go still (extremely slow reader with little time to read!)

I’m going to start on this soon, if only because DP keeps commenting on people’s ‘chimps’

But I suspect now I’ll just think that the writer thinks I’m a bit thick

It’s a very “inclusive” writing style! But, I need that when it’s late and I’m tired!
