He says the most difficult things to say

4 stars because he has the braveness to spell out specific OCD scenarios that are very difficult to repeat. He offers good resources to follow up with. It feels like you're talking to a friend who helps you get moving towards therapy or tackling OCD symptoms. 1 star less only because it could be a little repetitive with the advice he gives but it does come from a place of honesty. It's possible to read in this book in 1 hour.

This book is right in time!

I absolutely loved this book. I would find myself laughing out loud because it sounded so much like me at times. I need this type of transparency in my life at all times.

Not bad of a short read

It had some useful tools to manage OCD. Not bad for a short read & it was funny. It gives hope.

A very short and funny account of a man's life with OCD and what he chooses to do about it.

Great book!

I love this book. OCD truly is an asshole. So much of this resonated with me. I love the humor he included.

I can relate

OCS does suck. I was born with it. I only started treatment for OCD 4 years ago. This book is so relatable. Respect

Great

Made me feel less alone. I've been struggling for a while and was just diagnosed with obsessive ocd. Appreciated the loose candour.
