a new journey through anxiety
Explores the author's "Beast," her anxiety, and how a Chinese proverb she learned that states "to conquer a beast, you must first make it beautiful," helped her to see her anxiety as a teacher and a journey rather than an enemy to be overcome. Offers readers advice on overcoming their own mental anxieties, and includes anecdotes from mental health experts and representations of anxiety in literature, like the poems of Emily Dickinson.
