Everyone is Batsh*t Crazy

Going through a difficult patch? People getting on your every nerve? This book can provide the pep talk and methods to developing new coping strategies.

Chapter 1-4 are what sells this. The author clearly connects with the reader - with his 'been there, done that' story telling.

The chapters that follow dissect multiple situations and help you to gain insights so that you can more easily 'flow' with life. Many chapters end with the "Bottom line" which puts things into actionable take-aways. I personally found the chapters that focused on inputs and outputs as the attitude adjustment and reinforcement I needed to move more toward the flow goal.

One thing to be aware of is that the author is also in the wellness industry. Sometimes the tone is very reminiscent of a fitness trainer and life coach. At times, this detracts from the solid research he has done on the topic at hand. Stick with it... he's got good stuff to say.

This book is thought provoking in so many ways. I liked the fatalistic viewpoint that explained how to deal with the unfairness of life. I found myself rethinking things that have happened to me and it definitely helped. This has to be a unique self-help book. A lot of depth. Well done to the author for making the book both interesting and entertaining.

I really enjoyed reading Terry Keys' new book. The title captures the essence of the book, which is well-written with clear organization and structure. Keys begins with a personal anecdote about his son's dream of playing college football and explores how individuals engage with adversity. Chapter 10, titled "Don't Entrust Your Happiness to the Souls of Others or Things," stood out to me as it helped me re-engage with ideas about happiness and self-worth. One drawback is the informality of the writing style, which can interrupt the flow of ideas. Overall, this book is great for personal development and understanding adversities.

Thank you to #Netgalley for this advanced copy for an honest review.

This book is great for someone who is going through a rough patch and needs a pep talk. This book gives you tools to work through what life throws at us. I recommend this book to anyone who needs an insightful and informative book.
