I found Dr. Brody’s approach to overcoming overwhelm very helpful. The ideas presented aren’t particularly original, but her presentation is logical, methodical, reassuring, and easy to understand. I especially loved her statement that you can’t fix overwhelm by adding more items to your to-do list, even if those items involve self-care. It was so nice to see a healthcare provider acknowledge that!
It will take some time and commitment to work through all of her suggested exercises, but I got some benefit from even just a relatively quick read and a bit of time thinking about how well my actions match my highest values and how I want to feel. This is one of those books that I consider potentially life-changing, although the book will only make a difference if you actually take action.
Note that the publisher offers free downloadable worksheets for some of the exercises (no sign-up required). References are numbered by chapter and provided in endnotes, and a list of recommended resources are included at the end. Additional resources are provided on the author’s website, some of which require subscription to her email list.
I highly recommend this book for those interested in stress management, goal setting, and complementary healthcare.
