First, We Make the Beast Beautiful
A New Journey Through Anxiety
By Sarah Wilson
Narrated by: Sarah Wilson
Length: 9 hours 5 minutes
First, We Make the Beast Beautiful
“First, We Make the Beast Beautiful evokes the strange and magical feeling of having discovered a personal journal in a public place. It is first and foremost a memoir that tackles difficult subjects, touching on many experiences, both traumatic and constructive, that the author feels have affected her journey through anxiety. A great deal of the book is spiritual and suggests that anxiety is the product of an unrest in the soul. Fans of Rupi Kaur will enjoy the candid rawness of this book, as it pulls them through a journey that is perhaps all too painfully familiar.”
