    About this product

    Product Information

    Probably the best book on living with anxiety that I've ever read Mark Manson, bestselling author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck Sarah Wilson is a New York Times and Amazon #1 bestselling author, entrepreneur and philanthropist. She's the founder of IQuitSugar.com, whose 8-Week Program has been completed by 1.5 million people in 133 countries. A former news journalist and editor of Cosmopolitan, she was the host of the first series of MasterChef Australia and is the author of the international bestsellers first, we make the beast beautiful, I Quit Sugar: Simplicious, I Quit Sugar and I Quit Sugar For Life. Her latest book is I Quit Sugar: Simplicious Flow. She is ranked as one of the top 200 most influential authors in the world. Sarah blogs in an intimate fashion - on philosophy, anxiety, minimalism and anti-consumerism - at sarahwilson.com, lives in Sydney, Australia, rides a bike everywhere, is a compulsive hiker and is eternally curious. In first, we make the beast beautiful, Sarah directs her intense focus and fierce investigatory skills onto this lifetime companion of hers, looking at the triggers and treatments, the fashions and fads. She reads widely and interviews fellow sufferers, mental health experts, philosophers, and even the Dalai Lama, processing all she learns through the prism her own experiences. Sarah pulls at the thread of accepted definitions of anxiety, and unravels the notion that it is a difficult, dangerous disease that must be medicated into submission. Ultimately, she re-frames anxiety as a spiritual quest rather than a burdensome affliction, a state of yearning that will lead us closer to what really matters. Practical and poetic, wise and funny, this is a small book with a big heart. It will encourage the myriad sufferers of the world's most common mental illness to feel not just better about their condition, but delighted by the possibilities it offers for a richer, fuller life. MORE PRAISE FOR FIRST, WE MAKE THE BEAST BEAUTIFUL at once a nomadic journey, a cri de coeur and a compendium of hard-won wisdom ... Professor Patrick McGorry AO MD PhD FRCP FRANZCP FAA FASSA, 2010 Australian of the Year A witty, well-researched and often insightful book about negotiating a new relationship with anxiety. Andrew Solomon, Professor of Clinical Psychology and author of The Noonday Demon: An Anatomy of Depression

      Amazingly careful and considered packaging of this and another book purchased at the same time. Excellent value for money and perfectly 'as described' in excellent condition and mint appearance. This book comes from a quality series that I recommend. The postage charge was reasonable and delivery was quicker than expected/predicted. I have purchased before from this seller and can HIGHLY recommend them! Thank you.

      This second hand book arrived well packaged and in very good condition (as advertised). The only minor issue I had with it was the delivery interval. It was posted by the vendor reasonably promptly (I guess I'm spoilt by same day shipping some eBay vendors provide). However, it then took Australia Post 7 days for delivery to the east coast of Australia from Western Australia via (free) Standard Parcel Delivery. The tyranny of distance. Overall, though, I was quite satisfied with the transaction.

      Postage was quick, packaging suitable and tight. Books were in fantastic condition and the minor issues were photographed, so as expected. I will say the seller prices quite high but I took advantage of their bulk offer and got great value on some amazing books. Will be back to check their range as they seem reliable and know a good book when they see it!

    • The title doesn't really hint at the content of the book.

      Best read on Anxiety. Simply written and easy to understand.

    • Good points made, but long winded

      I was really looking forward to reading this book. Sarah's experiences become a tad boring after a while. You eventually get some strategies but you have to wade through a lot of writing first. Quirky writing style is okay I guess. I do wish that the book was more succinct and more to the point.
