As another review says, it's a self-help book and it's never wise to read a self-help book for new information. So, that. It's easy to read, and had a few parts I found resonant, buuuuut....there were a lot that I didn't or that felt unsatisfactory. I think part of why is highlighted in the whole learn-to-swim story that it's built around -- that's a really easy fear to tackle and address and problem solve and avoid the difficult complexities around fear.
