Thank you for commenting, I totally understand where you're coming from with this comment too. I work as a psychologist and have had my own long battle with anxiety and panic disorder, so I'm definitely aware of negative self talk and what it can do to a person. It's also still something I struggle with from time to time and need to always be mindful of, so I appreciate your input.

I think the specific feeling I experienced after reading Into Thin Air was just a general appreciation for things I don't usually focus on. I read it at Christmas shortly before taking a (very) uncomfortable and lengthy long haul flight. I'd typically struggle with quite a bit of anxiety while travelling, but actually having read Into Thin Air recently helped me focus on the facts that I was warm, well-fed, able to afford long distance travel and wasn't in any danger or extreme discomfort. It was quite a grounding experience for me and I'd consider re-reading Into Thin Air the next time I'm not feeling particularly grounded.

Again thank you for your comment!
