Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Worry Solution
Martin L. Rossman · 2011
80/100
👍 Worth It
Rossman brings genuine clinical credentials and a neuroscience foundation to guided imagery, making this far more grounded than the typical anxiety self-help title. The five-skill framework is concrete and the PBS adaptation speaks to its broad accessibility. Readers with severe clinical anxiety will still need professional care, but as a supplement this is one of the better-researched options on the shelf.
