Et cetera : What We're Reading: Beyond Anxiety

This month's Adventures in Bookclubbing theme was 'Authors with Red Hair.' I chose to read 'Beyond Anxiety: Curiosity, Creativity, and Finding Your Life's Purpose' by Martha Beck. It is a nonfiction book that was added to our collection just last month. In this book, Beck describes techniques for calming your inner anxiety creature, and then, once tamed, living a life full of creative energy. I strive to live a life full of creativity, and I'm glad I read the book. About ¾ of the way through she got a little too far out there for me personally, but I plan to incorporate some of her techniques into my current journaling practice.

I would recommend this book to anyone working through anxiety, looking to live a more creative life, or both!

Happy reading,
