What’s The Rush by Joey Kidney Kidney’s debut book is one that is both meaningful and an easy read. Kidney writes his life story over the course of the last three years through his hardships and achievements and frames it in a way that can help the reader by discussing his breakups, depression, anxiety, and the way he healed from that pain. The book itself is beautifully written, and the reader will undoubtedly find themselves going back to it time and time again to read a certain chapter depending on what they need; for example, there are chapters relating to overthinking, needing motivation, or dealing with daily stressors.
