Hey all. I was wondering if there are any books you have read about anxiety that you could recommend to me. I have one I'm reading right now, but I'd like to read more. Thanks :)

not about anxiety per- say, but a book about transforming the mind, so very apt really 'the transformed mind' by his Holiness the Dalai lama.

The Feeling Good Handbook by David Burns is a great book. The Self Esteem Workbook is my favorite. You can get both on Amazon.

Hi PM,

Have you looked at all of the suggestions in our Resources? We have quite a few good ones there.

I also had great success in checking out all that my library had to offer. No one book is going to be perfect for anyone...so I got them all...and essentially made my own customized self-help program by taking what was beneficial to me from each book!

CBT workbooks are also great...but need to be purchased, as you will need the worksheets to fill out.

Best wishes in whatever you choose!

S.C.

I 2nd the suggestion of Hope and Help for your Nerves by Claire Weekes. Add to that The Chemistry of Calm by Henry Emmons, and When Panic Attacks by David Burns.

Buying this book so soon, hopefully :)

The author is an M.D. I really love listening to his conferences about how body+mind works together and how one can overcome stress/worry in daily life.

And finished reading this one a while ago, very good self help about Health Anxiety

Liked it. Also there is a chapter which family members read to understand about Health anxiety.

I'm the third to recommend "Hope and Help For Your Nerves". I've been reading it and it's been extremely helpful!

I am really interested in "Hope and Help for your Nerves" but I guess it is the audio book version.
Is this the printed version? Same context?

Rr,

Yes! There is a printed version. I got mine on Amazon for like $1.99, used.

There is a newer version of hope and help for your nerves called, essential help for your nerves by Claire Weeks.
I have both!! Great read, and she truly knows what she is saying because some say she has been thru it herself.
I just got At last a life by Paul David and it seems good so far.
Anything by David Burns is good too.
There are tons of books out there, but like scaredy said, not each book is perfect for everyone.
Oh, I also read Anxiety for Dummies! Thought I could use a good laugh!!
Hope you find one that helps!
Good luck and be well,Lisa
