This book was very helpful. Something that I can re-read over and over.

It definately was helpful in learning new strategies to dealing with my lifelong problem with anxiety.l would read awhile, then take a break coming back to read the same material again if I had trouble understanding and that worked well. It was very easy to follow, there were some places I wanted to be very sure I was understand correctly and thus the reason for sometimes reading a piece twice.. well written!

Not for me, but could help someone else. I never bash a book when it could possibly help someone with something they are struggling with.

'You've been marching to the beat of anxiety's drum' this was one of many, many quotes from the book that was so relatable to me.
Anxiety is all consuming, living in a state of hyper awareness, using avoidance as a coping mechanism i know only too well how badly it affects sufferers.
This book was full of helpful information on dealing with your anxious mind, offers tips to try and help quieten your busy mind and help you shift your focus of attention.
Written in a friendly manner by a fellow sufferer, its easy to read, relatable and full of helpful ideas to make things that little bit easier.
Thank you to the author, publisher and Netgalley for allowing me to read this book in return for an honest review.

I have read numerous books on the subject of silencing the inner voice and dealing with worry. Amongst the best are Albert Ellis's How To Stubbornly Refuse To be Miserable About Anything and Creating a Bug Free Mind by Andy Shaw. This book manages to achieve a greater depth than most books I have read and remains authentic and relatable without shirking from the fact that you need to put these strategies into practice. The most helpful insight in there is that worry is intended (at its outset) to be helpful and push you towards solving a situation. There were other insights (such as how we think worrying itself is the work) which I have actually only seen expanded upon in rather obscure books rather than mainstream publications. It is clear the authors not only know what they are talking about but genuinely how to master the inner voice. Highly reccomended.

A lot of the information in this book is basic psychology that I have heard or read before. The book focuses heavily on people with OCD. If you like examples, this book is excellent. The author goes into the personal case stories of patients. One thing that was new to me was making a game out of anxiety. At the end there are resources listed for readers who want to pursue professional help.

This is a book I will definitely recommend to customers.

Really helpful book in dealing with anxiety that you can leave and go back to when you feel able to.

I think these self-help type psychology books are meant for those with no self-awareness and no idea about the basics of psychology. Maybe I've read too many psychology books or maybe the few psychology classes I've taken have given me a greater understanding of our brain and mental health, but I feel most of these self-help books are regurgitating the same facts over and over just using slightly different analogies and personal experiences. If someone has never taken psych or has never read a self-help book before, they may enjoy this read and find it informative; I, unfortunately, did not.

This book was helpful and inspiring with many practical suggestions for helping with anxiety. I liked how it was broken down into manageable sections, however I found it to be a little repetitive.

The book talks about worries and then the other spectrum of them becoming never quieting and festering thoughts always on our minds, other words anxiety building over time.

It compares anxiety of varying sorts and how it plays away on our vulnerability and thoughts of not coming across in many ways either positive or negatively.

It talks of triggers in life causing anxiety from trauma and situations before where you are now and action g on urges and challenging yourself by putting the reader/us through situational examples within the book.

There are also a few visual diagrams to break up the text in areas to explain cycles of processes throughout.

Overall, this book is a good read if you suffer anxiety or know someone who suffers purely because it's situational and allows the read to feel like they're understood and not judged by how they feel.

Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me a copy to review!

Easy to read with many helpful ideas for dealing with worry and anxiety, Definitely a book to recommend.

This book covers a lot of information, I found at times it was information overload and would need to be reread several times to get maximum benefit. I found the technical aspects a bit long winded but do understand the importance of them being included in the book. I liked the way the author wrote. There is lots of great strategies in this book but as mentioned above would need to be read several times to get maximum benefit.
