Talk about good timing, Just as we are all feeling a range of feelings and emotions throughout this COVID-19 period here is an easy to read book to help.

Usually society judges anxiety is an emotion as the evil villain, but Your Anxiety Beast and You suggests a, more compassionate approach for people suffering from anxiety.

If you are living with this anxiety enemy  the author  encourages us to see anxiety rather as an inner hero.. Further explanations are that anxiety is always trying to protect you from threats, however, it is completely confused about what are true threats in the modern world.

This is an easy book to read as we learn how to cope with anxiety and train it to be a better inner-companion through integrating therapeutic methods from compassion-focused therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

Reading Your Anxiety best and You, helps the reader gain an understanding of why society stigmatises anxiety while also gaining a better understanding of your own anxiety beast with humour and compassion.

We particularly liked step-by-step strategies of coping and, the physical effects of anxiety on the body,
