This book had a profound impact on me

Revisado: 10-22-21

Finally a book on the realities of depression and suicidalty. I found the subject matter captivating. My experiences have not been anywhere near as life altering as the author’s but her non-apologetic manner in telling her story and that of others really spoke to me. I only wish there would have been more content or interviews covering people like myself who fall somewhere in the middle, though I totally get that she is speaking from her own personal experience. As a person locked in my own battle of depressive suicidal ideation for decades I wish there were more writers as articulate and honest as Anna, and even better if there were those who spoke to the struggles of those who haven’t ended up in a hospital or ward (yet). There was one such interview in the book with a surviving spouse recalling how her husband had lost his own battle. I’m still reeling from that description and how much I identified with her husband’s condition. This was an amazing book on a subject that doesn’t get written about enough at this level. Also the narrator really made me feel like the author herself was speaking to me. Thank you for this book and the courage to write it.

Good points with exceptions

Revisado: 12-02-20

Most of the points made in this audio book were direct and to the point. There is one quick item early on that is the author’s religious point of view that didn’t really fit with the rest of the book. Luckily it only comes up once so it was easy to ignore and get back to the actual focus of the book. The book is short and without a bunch of fluff, other than that religion reference that almost loses the objective direction of this topic.

I couldn’t get past the narration

Revisado: 10-30-20

This might be better to read the book than to listen to the audio version. The narrator’s voice is so slow and speeding up the recording as I do with most she sounds like she is slurring her voice. This audio book is unlistenable and a waste of my credit.

Annoying

Revisado: 10-28-20

Annoying says it all. This book had no useful information other than the occasional references made to actually studies.

Just preaching about her religion

Revisado: 10-20-20

I couldn’t get past the first 5 minutes. Nothing but preaching about her ministry. Sorry I even downloaded this. How do I get my credit back?! Ugh
