It's a good book. She also focuses on therapy, which I currently can't afford, although I do have access to a psychiatrist. DBT and CBT workbooks help me substitute for therapy.

I think that therapy and medication are both very important. For those who don't have access to either or both, I felt that Fast's suggestions for leading a healthy life -- e.g. balanced diet, taking care of sleep, monitoring thought patterns and triggers, practicing mindfulness, etc. were helpful.

If there are other things you want to discuss about the book, I'd be happy to.
