Description
“The freighting thing about pursuing the truth is that all the lies that you’ve been surrounded with first must fall.”
In his groundbreaking self help book, Terry Keys provides readers with a refreshing perspective on personal growth and development. He encourages us to break free from the constant pursuit of happiness and instead embrace our flaws, fears, and uncertainties. Keys' approach is a departure from traditional self-help literature, which often focuses on presenting an idealized version of ourselves to the world. By acknowledging that we are all a little "batsh*t crazy" in our own unique ways, Keys shows us how to find meaning and purpose in the midst of chaos.
The first chapter of Everyone is BatSh*t Crazy is a deeply personal account of Keys' struggles with mental health. Through his vulnerability and candor, he encourages us to embrace our imperfections and acknowledge that we don't have everything together. Keys highlights the importance of letting go of the pressure to be perfect and accepting ourselves for who we are. By doing so, we can unlock our full potential and find true happiness and fulfillment in life. With practical advice and insightful anecdotes, Keys provides readers with the tools they need to navigate the ups and downs of life with grace and resilience.
Everyone is BatSh*t Crazy shows us that even when life tries to strangle us there is always hope. Keys reminds us that nearly everything is out of your control so worry less and smile more. By accepting ourselves for who we are, we can live a life of purpose and fulfillment. This book will provide you with the tools to stop overthinking, eliminate negative thoughts, break bad habits, reduce stress and learn to simply enjoy life.

Going through a difficult patch? People getting on your every nerve? This book can provide the pep talk and methods to developing new coping strategies.
Chapter 1-4 are what sells this. The author clearly connects with the reader - with his 'been there, done that' story telling.
The chapters that follow dissect multiple situations and help you to gain insights so that you can more easily 'flow' with life. Many chapters end with the "Bottom line" which puts things into actionable take-aways. I personally found the chapters that focused on inputs and outputs as the attitude adjustment and reinforcement I needed to move more toward the flow goal.
One thing to be aware of is that the author is also in the wellness industry. Sometimes the tone is very reminiscent of a fitness trainer and life coach. At times, this detracts from the solid research he has done on the topic at hand. Stick with it... he's got good stuff to say.

This book is thought provoking in so many ways. I liked the fatalistic viewpoint that explained how to deal with the unfairness of life. I found myself rethinking things that have happened to me and it definitely helped. This has to be a unique self-help book. A lot of depth. Well done to the author for making the book both interesting and entertaining.

I really enjoyed reading Terry Keys' new book. The title captures the essence of the book, which is well-written with clear organization and structure. Keys begins with a personal anecdote about his son's dream of playing college football and explores how individuals engage with adversity. Chapter 10, titled "Don't Entrust Your Happiness to the Souls of Others or Things," stood out to me as it helped me re-engage with ideas about happiness and self-worth. One drawback is the informality of the writing style, which can interrupt the flow of ideas. Overall, this book is great for personal development and understanding adversities.
Thank you to #Netgalley for this advanced copy for an honest review.
