Self-help β¦ Penny’s Take
Rewiring Your Brain
Michelle Mann Β· 2026
63/100
π Skip It
Mann's CBT-grounded framework gives this book more structural credibility than most anxiety self-help titles, covering thought records, cognitive distortions, and nervous system regulation in an accessible step-by-step format. The absence of any critical review coverage and independent publishing origin mean it's hard to know how rigorously the CBT concepts are applied. A reasonable option for readers who want CBT tools without clinical jargon, but verify it matches what's actually available given the unusual 2026 catalog year.
