This would be helpful to anyone that struggles with issues related to anxiety, depression, and other mental health problems.

I found this to be clear and concise, and provided tools that I definitely think I can implement in my own day to day.


Thank you to Netgalley for this ARC. These are my true thoughts.

This book was nice and comforting to read. I really learned new things and it helped me. It's an original self help book.

This book is good for pretty much anyone. Everyone faces obstacles, & almost everyone could learn tools to overcome them. It's pretty basic - I might consider it mental health 101. If you have really struggled with your mental health for years, & you know/think you may have a disorder of some sort, you will need more resources.

Really good self help book that opens up your mind to how different lessons and methods on how to do things.

There are 52 short chapters in this book. Each chapter helps the reader deal with negative thoughts, anxiety, or other problems that make us “not okay.”

The advice given is mostly based on CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) and is written in a clear and helpful manner. For readers dealing with more serious symptoms or problems, e.g. if you have PTSD or CPTSD, this would probably not be enough. But for general readers who need help with everyday stress, this book could be just the right thing.

(I received a free review copy from NetGalley.)

An excellent self help book based on CBT techniques. There are short snappy chapters with practical tasks at the end of each chapter to help you manage your mental health.

A really accessible introduction to normalizing difficult emotions and learning some DBT skills. Pretty practical and easy to read.

Thanks to NetGalley and New Harbinger Productions Inc for the ARC.

Excellent advice for anyone having an awful day, week, month, or year. This book unravels many circumstances and provides excellent coping skills for getting through them. It's a fantastic book that I'm delighted I discovered, and I'm looking forward to putting the advice into practice.
One of the book's most notable aspects is its commitment to assisting readers in discovering the fundamental reasons for their emotions. Individuals can get a deeper knowledge of why they feel the way they do by diving into the roots of intense sentiments, identifying triggers that amplify these emotions, and exploring healthier methods to channel their emotional intensity.

Self-help books normally make me feel uncomfortable and out of place. I love the way this book is laid out, it is relatable, and you feel like you are chatting with a friend who is giving you life advice!

I don't often read non-fiction or self-help books, but I really enjoyed this. Each chapter breaks down cognitive behavior techniques to managing obstacles in your daily life.

This book is definately aimed toward people who struggle with anxiety, depression, or other mental health struggles. Not to say that if you're neuro-typical you wouldn't get use out of it, but I think it would be more useful for people struggling with those issues. I almost wish this came with a workbook instead of having tasks outlined at the end of each chapter. That's probably more of a me thing then a note for the publisher though.

Thanks NetGalley and New Harbinger Publications, Inc!
