An easy and enjoyable read that everyone can benefit from.
Mankind offers nuanced yet simple and practical ways to deal with anxiety and depression. As an immigrant, the author’s transparency is refreshing, as we often don’t benefit from that level of openness in our communities.

I found the prompts in the “reflective corners” quite useful in challenging some of my own “truths”.
