Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 📱 Kindle
Overcoming Health Anxiety
Katherine Owens & Martin M. Antony · 2011
82/100
👍 Worth It
This one carries the ABCT Self-Help Seal of Merit — a real, independently vetted stamp of evidence-based quality that most self-help books never earn — and comes from a genuinely prolific, award-winning CBT researcher. It's narrowly focused on health anxiety specifically, so it won't help with generalized worry, but for its lane it's the real deal.
