at first i thought the paperback would be better due to the ginormous amount of exercises. but because the author is narrating his own book with his silly tone, various funny SFX, and change of voice as well as an almost simulation of booking a real counseling session with him, this might be one of those rare books that are better heard than read (another example is daisy jones and the six)

funny how it all ends with the "live in the moment, appreciate what you have, look down and not up, smell the roses" vibe which means at the end, the toxic positivity people are right, only that they skip all the mindful-acceptance phase of ACT

not only mention but also applies mindfulness. just as i expected, ACT is so intertwined with the mindfulness concept

this is basically a mindfulness technique. i like the author's empathetical, slightly humorous, and chill approach, but the book really is better in its paperback/ebook form than its audiobook form because there are TONS of practices. even more than david d. burns' feeling good

That mad scientist bit is so funny and cute lol. And yeah, the exercises is difficult if you're listening to the audiobook in the car or sth 💀

The Happiness Trap walked so The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck could run.

Was watching psychology videos on YouTube, and this got recommended alongside David D. Burns' Feeling Good. Loved the latter, so I wanted to read the former, but then realized I already have it in my to-read (which is a VERY good sign that the book will be up my alley). And here I am!
PS. Love the author's narration and the disclaimer about practices that can't be done through audiobook
