About this listen

“My friends just pretend to like me.”

“I toss and turn all night worrying about what I’m gonna say. I even worry about worrying.”

“I always feel so lonely, even when I’m around people. Especially when I’m around people.”

“There’s nothing about me that deserves love.”

Insecurity is a deadly threat. It eats away at you and turns every social engagement into a chance to make a mistake and lose everything. Insecurity runs you down until you’re too exhausted to leave your house, and the joy is sucked from your life.

Psychotherapist Adam Lane Smith lays out a comprehensive plan to help individuals combat the effects of insecurity, attacking this personal anxiety at the root. Armed with a host of new tools and perspectives, seize control of your life and finally slay the monster of destructive insecurity.

Miserable

Please find a compassionate person to narrate. Traumatized individuals who think they caused things they didn't cause don't need to be made to be insulted by the narrator. Rather believable perspective helps us re-evaluate the confusion.
I don't even know if the book was helpful. The narrator was so demeaning. I'd rather say I have no issue than be lumped in with all these people she was discusted with.

Slow start

The first 5 chapters listed examples of insecure people with no advice. The examples made me feel sad. I would skip to chapter 6 if you’re looking for constructive or productive reading.

Great information Terrible narration

The narration was terrible. Non fiction books (especially psychology books) should not be narrated in a “characters showing emotions” style. The characters come off as slightly patronizing when narrated in this manner. Monotone going forward please.

That being said information and lessons contained in the book are a 10 out of 10
