“Wow. This was fascinating as my mind does not work this way. The complexity of anxiety is dumb founding and exhausting. For me, it is always worth while to learn more how other people work, and what their experiences are so that I can be more understanding and patient. Celebrate diversity. I must admit that I feel very blessed with a more simple mind.”

“I had to read this after seeing the cover. That damn monkey has haunted me since I was a kid! I mean the actual, literal cymbal-crashing monkey. not the anxiety he is representing. (That got me later ;-)

“The authors self-deprecating and often humorous description of anxiety and "monkey mind" is an enjoyable read in spite of the serious topic. Relateable for anyone who's experienced anxiety.”
