NOT JUST ME (Lisa Jakub) - January 12/18

Read this to and from Hong Kong. It's fine, I guess. Jakub lists the various anxiety disorders and the methods used to treat them, and some of it's interesting but a lot of it feels like a textbook. The book is at its most entertaining when Jakub is telling personal stories, like her trip to Texas to speak to soldiers suffering from PTSD. (I even choked up a little at the close of this section.) **1/2 out of ****
