Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before? Hardcover – January 11, 2022

I bought this book after listening to the audiobook through my library. It helped me so much that I had to buy it as a reference for whenever I need advice or ideas on how to help me out during difficult moments. I’ve been having a blast reading and annotating this book before bed. I love that the chapters are laid out by topic so if you’re looking for help with something specific it’s super easy to find.My book did come with slight damage (creasing around the corners of spine) and dirt on the dust jacket.

I can't even begin to explain how amazing this book is, but I will try my best. This is definitely a book that I will keep on hand from this day forward. The chapters are not long and drawn out so they are easy to absorb. The issues that are discussed are very relatable! It would be impossible to find a person that doesn't identify with at least one subject brought up. The authors writing style is easy to understand so it keeps you on track and focused. The exercises explained in the book are extremely doable. If you're searching for a self help book for any reason, definitely give this one a shot. If you like it just half as much as I do then you'll be glad you read it.

There's guidance for almost every life event. I like that psychological concepts are broken down to be easily understood. The title says it all, there's so much I did not know, but learned.

Update, I finished it and it has been so helpful to me I can back a second time just to make sure I had given this book a positive review! Has been sooo helpful for me. It is everything I said before below, it has got me excited to process my thoughts/feelings/actions and I feel the improvement. I would equate it to the feeling being a month or two into exercising consistently, you never want to lose it after that. If you want clear, helpful knowledge on ways to promote a healthy/thriving mental state I could not recommend this book more.Old review:I’m about 1/3 of the way through and just had to say something. It’s interesting, practical and concise. Doesn’t claim to be the know all just gives the reader helpful, useable knowledge. As a healthcare professional I couldn’t be more happy with how this book is presented and how easy it is to open up and gain some useable knowledge each morning. Definitely recommend.

This book is full of practical and easy to apply strategies. Highly recommend!

I picked up this book because I thought it would be similar to Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by Lori Gottleib, which is one of my favorites. It's similar, though much more detailed. The first chapters are very good, but I kind of got lost in the extremely detailed part about stress. Overall, it's a good book and has prompted me to seek more information about mental health. Definitely recommended!

This text is my standard for good mental health- I received a wealth of imformation for self healing.

I enjoyed the book
