Surprisingly good first aid book for people suffering from anxiety. I think that many will find it useful and o the point, not scary at all nor overwhelming. It was a pleasant surprise. Loved the design as well!

Extremely useful reminders for myself and my family members who suffer from anxiety. Cheerful graphics and positive, inspirational quotes.

Great for beginners and had some good refreshers for someone who's been working on anxiety for a while. Not a catch all or super in depth but an easy read with some good tools

I gave it two stars just because it had some good nutrional tips for people with social anxiety, other than - to me - these self help books are like telling someone to breathe when they can't.

This was very informative, especially for those that have no background in psych/therapy. It has great coping skills and a clear understanding of anxiety, panic, and how to normalize, accept, and maintain anxiety at all levels.
