Reader reviews for First, We Make the Beast Beautiful: A new conversation about anxiety
Review summary
Reader reaction was sharply divided. Admirers praised the book’s raw candor, compassion, and its reframing of anxiety as something to be acknowledged rather than “cured,” finding comfort in its memoir-like, conversational voice and occasional practical tips. Detractors criticized the chaotic structure and weak editing, vague and sometimes inaccurate or privilege-blind advice (especially around medication, diet, and costly retreats), and flagged moments they felt were potentially harmful or triggering; many argued it’s best approached as a personal memoir—not a clinical guide—and not suited to readers in crisis.
