Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Living It Up
Bev Aisbett · 2010
70/100
👍 Worth It
Aisbett's illustrated approach to anxiety has earned half a million readers worldwide for good reason — the format lowers the barrier when distress makes dense clinical prose hard to absorb. This sequel's 'advanced survivor' framing is a smart move, meeting readers who have already done the foundational work and want to keep building. Readers new to Aisbett should start with Living with It first.
