"An accessible, fully illustrated, full-colour guide to understanding and coping with everyday anxiety "
This toolkit includes pages on subjects from the scientific roots of anxiety in adults, children (and even animals), but also practical advice and tips, including how to break up with a social media or screen addiction, and techniques for getting out of spiralling or distraction, like the Pomodoro technique and 3-3-3. I don’t know if I exactly learned something ‘new’ from reading this, and it isn't appropriate for more debilitating or clinical levels of anxiety, but there is something about its format which makes it appealing especially for someone at the beginning of researching anxiety or perhaps for someone interested in helping a friend, child, or loved one who is going through this (there are also a few articles specially targeted for this kind of reader.) This hardback book is almost A4 in size, and is also illustrated in full colour throughout making reading it feel like reading a sturdy, high-quality magazine. This might make it particularly appealing to people who worry about having a shorter attention span, or to flip through it almost like a coffee-table book. But while the content might feel like scrolling through articles online, there is just something about it being a physical copy that makes it a more intentional experience, and actually acting on practical advice from it feels more likely than the disembodiment and endlessness of internet advice. Also, sometimes the best advice isn’t about learning something ‘new’ but having everything simply laid out in one place.
