The topic list is comprehensive — breathing, meditation, yoga, panic attacks, phobias — and the accessible no-jargon style is genuinely friendly for readers new to mindfulness. The problem is that the author's credentials aren't documented and there's no independent vetting, which matters when you're giving people mental health guidance. Better-credentialed alternatives in the mindfulness-for-anxiety space, like books from Jon Kabat-Zinn or Claire Weekes, are easy to find.
