Description
Informative and accessible, The Book of Knowing is a friendly, therapeutic guide for teens to understand and control their feelings. In 2015, clinical psychologist Gwendoline Smith began a Tumblr blog under the pseudonym Dr. Know. Her Gen Z-friendly approach to CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) resonated, and the idea for this book was born.
With lively art, tangible advice, and immersive activities, this book is a handy guide for dealing with big feelings that provides humor, kindness, and manageable strategies for issues that can sometimes feel out of our control.

Just like the blurb says " a little book for big feelings," and just like that I found it easy to read and understand and what's more interesting is that I've struggled with emotions as a teen and reading through this made it easier to clarify a feeling from a fact, and that's powerful.
I also love the illustrations.
Thanks Netgalley for the eARC.
At the moment I’m dealing with anxiety and this book surely has already come in handy a couple of times. The illustrations give it a lighter feeling and not only a textbook type of book. I really liked the format of the book and the tips given,
The Book Of Knowing by Gwendoline Smith, a clinical psychologist from New Zealand. This book is based on the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. It is a therapeutic handbook for, especially young adults in order to have control over their feelings and thoughts.
It focuses on concepts like - ABC model, Computer mind analogy, Cognitive Distortions, etc. I like how the author has given tips in the end for readers from non psychology background to help themselves in form of self therapy.
Since I am from Psychology background, majority of these things are already known by me. I liked how the book has pie charts and various other graphics in order to help understand better. The use of Record sheets in the book was really thoughtful. It's more like a workbook for the reader.
Overall it's a good book for teenagers to start and manage their thoughts and feelings. Wouldn't recommend for adults, as there are better and more advance books out there.
