About this listen
Rose Cartwright has OCD, but not as you know it. Pure is the true story of her 10-year struggle with ‘Pure O’, a little-known form of the condition, which causes her to experience intrusive sexual thoughts of shocking intensity. It is a brave and frequently hilarious account of a woman who refused to give up, despite being undermined at every turn by her obsessions and enduring years of misdiagnosis and failed therapies.
Eventually, the love of family and friends, and Rose’s own courage and sense of humour prevailed, inspiring this deeply felt and beautifully written memoir. At its core is a lesson for all of us: when it comes to being happy with who we are, there are no neat conclusions.

By the age of 13, Lily Bailey was convinced she was bad. She had killed someone with a thought, spread untold disease, and ogled the bodies of other children. Only by performing an exhausting series of secret routines could she make up for what she'd done. But no matter how intricate or repetitive, no act of penance was ever enough. Beautifully written and astonishingly intimate, Because We Are Bad recounts a childhood consumed by obsessive compulsive disorder.

If you are someone who is plagued by thoughts you don’t want - thoughts that scare you, or thoughts you can’t tell anyone about - this book may change your life.

Story
Pure obsessional obsessive-compulsive disorder, or "Pure O" OCD, is a subtype of OCD that is characterized by intrusive thoughts, images, or urges without any visible symptoms. These "hidden compulsions" can include constant reassurance seeking, obsessive regret or worry, and may involve avoidance, excessive preparation, and thought rituals. They can also cloud your judgement, causing you to make decisions based on fears and compulsions instead of your values. So, how do you break this obsessive cycle?

An estimated five million Americans suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and live diminished lives in which they are compelled to obsess about something or to repeat a similar task over and over. Traditionally OCD has been treated with Prozac or similar drugs. The problem with medication, aside from its cost, is that 30 percent of people treated don't respond to it, and when the pills stop, the symptoms invariably return.

We all want to feel less anxiety, guilt, anger, and sadness. We want to obsess less and be less lonely, and free ourselves from our demons, compulsive habits, and stress. But as humans (unlike rocks), we experience all of these. And, paradoxically, trying to avoid and control them only makes things worse. Having struggled with serious mental illness for many years himself, Mark Freeman has become a dedicated mental-health advocate and coach. He makes the case that instead of trying to feel less and avoid pain and stress, we need to build emotional fitness, especially our capacity for strength, balance, and focus.

In How to Release Anxiety, Gabby Bernstein offers simple, actionable steps for feeling better, living with more ease, and showing up for those around us. Gabby’s unusual advice: Rather than manage your anxiety, what if you befriended it? Gabby posits that what we befriend, we can ultimately be at ease with. So she invites us to get curious.

Story
If you ask a Finn, they will likely be as baffled as you are. That’s why Melanie Dower, an expat who has been living in Finland for the past decade, has taken up the charge. Her vantage as an outsider entrenched in Finnish culture uniquely positions her to identify the keys to Finnish happiness that elude the rest of the world and that Finns take for granted. From sauna to strong social safety nets, Finnish life is made up of a constellation of habits and structures that leave its residents relaxed, healthy, and fulfilled.

Story
Based on seven years of ground-breaking research and hundreds of interviews, I Thought It Was Just Me shines a long-overdue light on an important truth: Our imperfections are what connect us to each other and to our humanity. Our vulnerabilities are not weaknesses; they are powerful reminders to keep our hearts and minds open to the reality that we're all in this together.

Enlightening, thoughtful
Excellent book; the author's warmth and love come through this tale of pain. Relatable to those of us with OCD, even if it's of another stripe. Enlightening to the uninitiated, I'm sure.

Where was this book when I was a teen?!
I am thrilled this book exists. If I had had this when I was a teenager. struggling with horrible sexual and violent intrusive thoughts that exhausted me and made me feel like a freak, then it would have helped me so much. It would have helped me to feel normal, and it would have shown me how to deal with my thoughts.
So much of this book resonated with me, from the way she ruminates on every bit of evidence that she might be gay, to the way she rationalized everything to mean thr worst possible thing, to her account of her Eureka moment when she read the Wikipedia article on "Intrusive Thoughts." I have done every single one of those things, and none of her experiences listed in this book came as a shock to me.
It was helpful, though, to hear what she'd learned from therapy and from herself. The prime takeaway from therapy was this: compulsions makes obsessions worse. If there is any bit of negative remarks I could make about the book, it would be that this was the only effective advice she shared from therapy, as if it was the one answer to the whole problem.
I appreciate that she said this anxiety is something she'll have to live with forever, and deal with rather than cure. So I understand that the book doesn't include a "solution" to the problem. I hope that Rose gets more answers in her continued therapy. and I hope she shares her progress with us in a follow-up.
Ms Cartwright, if you read this, I just want to say thank you. I am a bit further along in my pure o journey than a lot of people (19 years now), but even I found help in it. I can only imagine the tears and gratitude from someone who feels lost and doesn't know what to make of it. For people like that (my younger self), this book is a warm arm reaching around their shoulder, telling then they'll be all right.
And the narrator, Charly Clive, is phenomenal. What a great voice, and a great delivery.
