Reviews"I've tried apps, mediation, exercise, mindfulness, doctors, meds, and more to help my ever-growing beast of anxiety but nothing put it into perspective--or made me laugh more--than Reid and Williams' smart, sassy, and absolutely genius The Big Activity Book for Anxious People . From anxiety check-ins to coloring to concrete suggestions for soothers that actually really and truly work, just seeing this book on my desk every morning makes me breathe easier. It should be required reading for everyone I know."-- Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author (and anxious person) of Is This Tomorrow and Pictures of You "I laughed out loud at every page. Now I feel better about flying in a plane, being trapped in an Uber without cell service, and all the diseases I probably don't have. I want to give this to everyone I know in my Jordan Catalano generation."-- Liz Teich, The New York Stylist, "I laughed out loud at every page. Now I feel better about flying in a plane, being trapped in an Uber without cell service, and all the diseases I probably don't have. I want to give this to everyone I know in my Jordan Catalano generation."-- Liz Teich, The New York Stylist, "This book helped me feel less alone in my anxieties, while also laughing at the sheer absurdity of them. Thank you, Jordan and Erin, for giving voice to my silent screams."-- Beth Newell , editor/cofounder of Reductress "I''ve tried apps, mediation, exercise, mindfulness, doctors, meds, and more to help my ever-growing beast of anxiety but nothing put it into perspective--or made me laugh more--than Reid and Williams'' smart, sassy, and absolutely genius The Big Activity Book for Anxious People . From anxiety check-ins to coloring to concrete suggestions for soothers that actually really and truly work, just seeing this book on my desk every morning makes me breathe easier. It should be required reading for everyone I know."-- Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author (and anxious person) of Is This Tomorrow and Pictures of You "I laughed out loud at every page. Now I feel better about flying in a plane, being trapped in an Uber without cell service, and all the diseases I probably don''t have. I want to give this to everyone I know in my Jordan Catalano generation."-- Liz Teich, The New York Stylist " The Big Activity Book for Anxious People gets me out from under my weighted blanket. If I had friends, I would definitely give them this book!"-- Ellie Knaus, host of Atomic Moms "Frickin'' hysterical! Who knew my anxiety could be so funny?"-- Amy Morrison, founder of Pregnant Chicken "Anxiety loves company. Or, at least, commiseration. This brilliant, hilarious book of fun will keep you giggling and scribbling your worries away. Since receiving it, I''ve been too busy to do an in depth internet search, but I hear it''s scientifically proven to be just as effective at alleviating self-torment as a heavy blanket, dose of CBD oil, or therapy session. My cuticles, hairline, and digestive system salute Reid and Williams!"-- Phoebe Lapine, author of The Wellness Project "What I love about this guide is a) it gives you something to actually do , other than sit with your angsty thoughts, b) it''s funny, not earnest--they poke fun at the cliché of being told ''just breathing'' will fix everything--and c) it''s subversive and offbeat. As someone with OCD, I personally related to the word scramble on the germiest spots in your hotel room. This book validates real fears while providing solutions that are both helpful and actually enjoyable."-- Amy Keller Laird, former editor-in-chief of Women''s Health ; founder @club_mental "A valuable tool for any sufferers who are looking for distraction, compassion, and real, viable solutions to our most common anxiety triggers. Therapeutic techniques are shared by way of thoughtful (and fun!) activities, and between the layers of comedy, the authors are gifting readers with a palatable way to digest the reality of mental health issues. And--with their skill, insight and creativity--they have even managed to make it delicious."-- Rebecca Fox Starr, mental health advocate, author of Beyond the Baby Blues: Anxiety and Depression During and After Pregnancy "Comedy might be one of the best instant remedies for anxiety, and The Big Activity Book for Anxious People brings plenty of it. Beyond making us laugh, Reid and Williams remind us anxious people of one powerful thing: we''re definitely not alone in this."-- Lauren Sweeney, content director, HEYMAMA "What can I say? This is one of the best books about anxiety. I meticulously read it from front to back exactly one-hundred and thirteen times so that nothing bad would ever happen to my family!"-- Wendy Molyneux, writer and producer , Bob''s Burgers "My insouciant inner child was delighted; my anxious outer adult was soothed. And my usually-mangled cuticles would like to personally thank page 89."-- Katlyn Carlson, "This book helped me feel less alone in my anxieties, while also laughing at the sheer absurdity of them.

Immature
The authors clearly think they are cute and funny. I am a psychologist and would NEVER recommend this to a client. After using it I *might* be less anxious, but definitely be more depressed. It so lightly approaches subjects or almost makes fun of subjects of morality, that it could leave one hopeless and sad. I personally found it depressing. These types of books need not be superficial or entertaining. Simply, I found it inappropriateVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
