In this lively, well-written book, Britt Frank adds her compelling voice to this movement toward listening to rather than avoiding or fighting with what is making you stuck. To use one of her great metaphors, what if anxiety isn't an annoying feeling to ignore or medicate and instead is a warning light on your mind's dashboard, indicating that something inside you needs attention? Frank's has been quite a journey and I'm so glad she's courageous enough to share it, and the wisdom it brought her, with us.

In The Science of Stuck Britt Frank provides insights that enable individuals to move from the rigidity and predictiveness of being stuck to flexibility, curiosity, and social accessibility.

Britt's desire to de-pathologize things we are often told to consider as character weaknesses is well executed. Her book perfectly balances a combination of scientific research, humour, and experience. Her writing is sensitively crafted together, shedding light on why we feel unable to make changes or find motivation in our lives. She provides digestible explanations and psychological exercises that we can do to foster greater connection to ourselves, our bodies and other people. Read more...
