Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Anxiety Getaway
Craig April · 2020
68/100
👎 Skip It
April's clinical pedigree is real and the CBT foundation is sound, but the book has thin independent critical coverage and likely covers familiar ground for anyone who has read a CBT primer before. It may be genuinely useful for readers who want a practitioner-backed introduction to CBT anxiety tools, but it does not clearly distinguish itself from a crowded field.
