I won an advanced copy of this book from Penguin Random House and BookishFirst in exchange for a full review.
"What Would You Do If You Weren't Afraid" is a self-help book by Michal Oshman, head of culture at TikTok Europe and a former leadership expert at Facebook. As someone so successful, you would expect her to deal with severe, often crippling anxiety in her daily life. By embracing her Jewish heritage and it's teachings, Oshman has been able to handle this anxiety and is sharing her experiences with the reader.
First, the good. Oshman explains each Hebrew/Jewish concept well. She provides a definition and often breaks down the origins of the word or phrases so that we can get a better grip on its meaning. I also liked that each chapter was short enough that you didn't get bogged down in a single concept at the expense of the others. Her parenting chapter, in particular, does a good job of bringing everything together. My favorite aspect was that she includes reflection questions at the end of each chapter to make the concepts a bit more practical.
Now, the bad. Based on the title and the preview chapter I'd read before receiving the book, I has assumed, perhaps unfairly, that this book would deal with anxiety more than it did. Outside the first few chapters, it comes up only rarely. Additionally, while the Jewish wisdom that Oshman imparts may cause you to look at things differently, the core messages are no different than other self-help books.
Overall, the book is enjoyable, but if you've read many self-help books in the past, you probably won't discover anything new in this book.
