Review Quotes: "OCD thrives on certainty-seeking, and living with it means living with a great deal of doubt. Understanding what is actually happening in your mind is one of the things that helps most, and Aiden Reis's book does exactly that. It demystifies OCD in plain, compassionate language, and gives readers something solid to stand on. Then, through practices like mindfulness, it helps you get curious about your own mind. It's approachable and easy to take in, and I'll be recommending it widely."
