From comedian and ex-diet junkie Caroline Dooner, an inspirational guide that will help you stop dieting, reboot your relationship with food, and regain your personal power. Our bodies are hardwired against dieting. But each time our diets fail, instead of considering that maybe our ridiculously low-carb diet is the problem, we wonder what’s wrong with us.

“It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle.” You've probably heard this phrase from any number of people in the wellness space. But as Christy Harrison reveals in her latest book, wellness culture promotes a standard of health that is often both unattainable and deeply harmful. The Wellness Trap delves into the persistent, systemic problems with that industry, offering insight into its troubling pattern of cultural appropriation and its destructive views on mental health, and shedding light on how a growing distrust of conventional medicine has led ordinary people to turn their backs on science.

Story
Anxiety affects more than forty million Americans—a number that continues to climb in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. While conventional medicine tends to view anxiety as a “neck-up” problem—that is, one of brain chemistry and psychology—the truth is that the origins of anxiety are rooted in the body. In The Anatomy of Anxiety, holistic psychiatrist Dr. Ellen Vora offers nothing less than a paradigm shift in our understanding of anxiety and mental health, suggesting that anxiety is not simply a brain disorder but a whole-body condition.

Publisher's Summary
Blending memoir and blistering social observations, the author of The F*ck It Diet looks back at her desperate attempts to heal her hunger, anxiety, and imperfections through extreme diets, culty self-help methods, and melodramatic bargains with the universe.
Offering a frank and funny critique of the cultural forces that are driving us mad, Caroline Dooner examines how treating ourselves like never ending self-improvement projects is a recipe for burnout. We have become unknowingly complicit in perpetuating our own exhaustion because we are treating ourselves like machines. But even phones need to f*cking recharge.
Caroline takes a good hard look at the dark side of self-help, and explains how she eventually used a radical period of rest to push back against cultural expectations and reclaim some peace.
Tired As F*ck empowers us to say no to the things that exhaust us. It inspires us to carve out time to slow down, feel okay about doing less, and honor our humanity.
This is not a self-help book, it’s a cautionary tale. It’s an honest look at the dogma of wellness and spiritual self-improvement culture and revels in the healing power of rest and letting shit go.

True to her message
I read her first book TFID a few years ago and really enjoyed it. After being influenced by diet culture for as long as I can remember, it was nice to have somebody call it out and put some of my experiences into words. This book does the same thing, but addresses the pressures and lies of self-help and hustle culture.
This book is a tool in your journey back to truly taking care of yourself by letting go of society’s expectations of self care and genuinely resting. The stories and personal experiences in the book are humourous and entertaining, and the author acknowledges her privilege and takes ownership of her actions which is refreshing in the “self-help” world.
I really enjoyed this book and would suggest it for any one who has struggled with the expectations of diet, self help and hustle culture.

Good listen
It was a nice listen. Well read by the author. I wish there was a little more research offered and less about diet culture again but I understand the necessity of telling that piece.

I thought there would be more about the how to
If you're unfamiliar with diet culture and its detrimental effects this may be an eye opening read. The author tells her story and discusses this at length, 2/3 of the book. The last 1/3 is about burnout and the authors experience with burnout. Being a burned out person myself, I was looking for details on how the author completed her two years of rest and recovery but the author only speaks about this at a very high level. This is not a book with details on how to recover from burnout, it's maybe a read to nudge you on your way to figuring out what you need to do to recover from burnout, but is mostly a story of the author's burnout. The story can be very repetitious.

Made me feel more shitty.
This is a book based on Carolines view on certain “cults”. I love how she says in the beginning that we need to be questioning what people are telling us, just like we need to question what she’s saying in this book based on her on life experiences. I found myself questioning my own self because of her opinions on certain topics that actually bring me joy and success.

Memoire rather than useful
Get this book if you’re looking for a Memoir rather than thoughtful commentary or actionable steps to get out of burnout.
Read rest is resistance, how to keep house while drowning, or burnout are better resources on how to work through being tired as fuck.
As a memoir it’s actually interesting, but don’t expect it to tackle burnout as she tackled diet culture in her last book, as I did.
Ultimately I probably will push through to finish it (I’m about 60% through now), but as soon as I got through the huge section about dental surgery and how much she likes snacks I needed a break.
She’s a engaging reader so the audiobook is pretty nice to listen to.
Overall three stars as a memoir
One star as a guide to tackling burnout
2 stars overall
