Habits For Mastering Anxiety: 10 Steps to a Calmer, More Confident You by Dr. Tim Sharp
3h 33m narrated by author
Genre: Personal Success
Featuring: Making Changes, Body and Mind, Staying Present and Being Mindful, Grounding, Applied Relaxation Strategies, Controlling Your Thoughts, Acronym CHOOSE, The Truth About The Lord of The Flies, Habits For Happiness
Rating as a movie: G
My rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
My thoughts:📻 2/10 - It's not bad. It's not a lot of new information here, but the way it is given is very inspiring.
📻3/10 - This chapter was dull but useful. It's basically relaxation exercises without the sounds of waves. It is great because you won't always have guided meditation but boring because of descriptions.
I absolutely enjoyed this series. I will be rereading in the future.
Recommend to others?: Yes. This is a lot of good techniques and information in a short amount of time.

I read this as a professional looking for resources for patients. I felt it was a mixed bag.
Pros: theoretically sound, with some useful individual exercises. May be helpful for those with very mild anxiety. The author has a really lovely reading voice!
Cons: 'anxiety' is too big a topic to deal with in this way, and I was left feeling unsure that many people would find this very valuable. Most suggested tasks are too generic for anyone with a specific disorder, and if I didn't know better, I might be left with the belief that CBT is too light touch for more severe difficulties.
Not harmful by any means, but possibly not overly useful either. I would say anyone looking for an overview of theory might find this most useful.

For the most part, I found this book helpful. However, I was hoping for something new or something I hadn't heard already. I guess there are no magic wands that will take away my anxiety. The situations in my life cause most of my anxiety.
