Book Synopsis

An illustrated guide to help identify, understand, and manage anxiety.

In The Anxiety Club we are introduced to three characters, each with a different form of anxiety. After hearing their stories, we follow them into the therapy room, where they discover the behavioral, cognitive, and emotional tools to help free themselves from anxious thinking.

Many people believe that there is no treatment for anxiety: they try to soothe their inner suffering with medication, alcohol, drugs, or binge eating. However, there are healthy ways to manage such negative thoughts and feelings.

This self-help handbook, written by leading anxiety expert and psychiatrist Dr. Frédéric Fanget and editor Catherine Meyer and drawn by Pauline Aubry, helps the reader to identify, understand, and find freedom from anxiety.

Review Quotes

"A compact guide to self-help produced by a professional is surely a no-brainer purchase for any anxiety sufferer, and The Anxiety Club is accessible, wise and understanding."-- "The Slings & Arrows"

"The titular notion of an anxiety club - a network of readers who have perhaps experienced a similar thing - is a helpful one, which reminds us that, no matter how small or great our fears might be, we are not alone."-- "The Oxford Student"
