Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
You're Not Crazy
Laurie Singer · 2021
74/100
👍 Worth It
A licensed therapist with decades of behavioral practice writes in plain, validating language about anxiety, OCD, and related conditions — and the CBT framework she presents is genuinely useful for readers who feel stuck. The subtitle's mention of fetishes will surprise some readers expecting a straightforward anxiety book, so set expectations clearly. But for adults who feel shame about their mental health struggles, this is a warm and credible starting point.
