Why read it?

1 author picked The Comfort Crisis as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book will get you stretching yourself in exciting ways and it reminds you that your body and brain are way more capable than you’re giving yourself credit.

From Lauren's list on how to cope and live with anxiety.
