While reading psychiatrist Kay Redfield Jamison's groundbreaking account of bipolar disorder "An Unquiet Mind", Sarah Wilson discovered an ancient Chinese proverb that would change her life: "To conquer a beast, you must first make it beautiful." Wilson, a bestselling author, journalist, and entrepreneur, had spent years struggling with her own beast: chronic anxiety. And the words of this proverb would become the key to understanding her condition. "First, We Make the Beast Beautiful" charts Wilson's epic journey to make peace with her lifetime companion, and to learn to see it as a guide, rather than as an enemy. With intensive focus and investigatory skills, Wilson examines the triggers and treatments, the fashions and fads. She reads widely and interviews fellow sufferers, mental health experts, philosophers, and even the Dalai Lama, processing all she learns through the prism of her own experiences. Pulling at the thread of accepted definitions of anxiety, she unravels the notion that it is a difficult, dangerous disease that must be medicated into submission, and re-frames it as a divine journey a state of yearning that will lead us closer to what really matters. Practical and poetic, wise and funny, "First, We Make the Beast Beautiful" is a small book with a big heart. It will encourage the myriad souls who dance with this condition to embrace it as a part of who they are, and to explore the possibilities it offers for a richer, fuller life. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Wilson, Sarah,|d1974-|xMental health. 650 0 Anxiety|xAlternative treatment. 650 0 Anxiety|xPrevention. 650 0 Spiritual healing. 650 0 Mental healing. 700 1 Wilson, Sarah. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 11999486?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ hpc_9780062847270_180.jpeg
