Aimed at teens with social anxiety, but still very applicable to adults. Easy to read and learn from.

This book is a step by step guide for people with social anxiety to start confronting their anxiety with CBT. This book is probably quite helpful for people who are struggling with social anxiety but for someone who is not it was quite pointless. This book does not provide information on social anxiety but rather only targets people who have social anxiety and gives them steps on how to work through that. It is quite a short book only about 140 pages with big text so it is not hard to get through so if you have social anxiety and are struggling with that this may be something that would be good to try but for others it is pointless and I would not recommend.

There is so much to love about this book and how teen-friendly it is. The chapters are short and relatable - no distant, textbookish writing here. Instead, the fun illustrations of other teens are reminiscent of a graphic novel. It offers easy but practical tools for Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) like using mindfulness to alleviate distress and a fear facing ladder to take steps toward goals, plus education on emotions and self-care.
