Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Anxiety Happens
Renee Briem · 2019
82/100
👍 Worth It
Two credentialed clinical psychologists distilling real ACT research into 52 bite-sized tools is about as solid a foundation as popular mental health books get. The week-by-week format makes it easy to actually use rather than just read — you pick it up, do the thing, put it down. A note: the creator listed in the catalog doesn't match the verified authors (Forsyth and Eifert), so whoever is managing this listing should clean that up, but the book itself is the real deal.
