Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Overcoming Anxiety
Archibald D. Hart · 1989
72/100
👍 Worth It
Hart was a real clinical psychologist teaching at Fuller Seminary, and it shows: this blends legitimate anxiety science with genuine pastoral encouragement instead of empty platitudes. It's over 35 years old now, so treat it as a warm, trustworthy starting point rather than the last word on anxiety treatment.
