How You Beat Anxiety

I enjoyed the transparency of this book. The feelings I felt from my “monkey” I didn’t believe any one else has ever felt before. But due to Mr. Shaw’s realistic and transparent points in this book, I no longer feel alone.

i didn’t expect much when i read this book, only because i’ve been brainwashed to believe that the only cure for anxiety was thousands of dollars and a therapist. this book has helped me regulate the negative spiraling thoughts, put things into a more positive perspective, and it helps me remember that these feelings are only temporary and aren’t as scary as they seem! i’ve been suffering from emetephobia since i was a child (i turn 21 in 4 months), so this book really hit home. i come back to my highlighted sections every time i start to panic and im instantly grounded again.

Taught me ways to deal with my anxiety and depression. Very easy read without all the doctor words.

I can’t be thankful enough for this book. Whenever you talk to someone who doesn’t even have the slightest idea what anxiety actually is, it’s always looked at as one is exaggerating the feeling of it; but when you actually deal with it and no one can relate to this feeling it’s almost dooming and you feel alone in this. I’ve tried medication , sleeping pills, vitamins, meditating etc.. but facing your giant is a whole different type of inner strength you never knew you had to face. Step one is exactly what we need to do, but we can’t get there to getting better if we never start. Thank you so much Ryan , I was stuck in this daily anxiety loop that I wasn’t feeling human anymore & was getting depressed. Everyone around me noticed me a different person. Multiple times in the ER, being scared to be certain places cause that’s where my anxiety attacks always happened, to it affecting my life as a whole. I related in so many areas w with this book and it’s made me look at anxiety differently and this urge to keep pushing for a better day cause I’m going to be okay , we’re going to be okay. Don’t give up , and keep pushing! ❤️‍🩹

This book help me quite a bit it put so many things in perspective, it gave me wonderful ideas on how to deal with my monkey and I could also relate to many things that were in this book. I definitely enjoy the part about taking steps specially when I go see my primary doctor. First the drive then the waiting room then the doctor. I recommend this book even if his situation doesn’t fully pertain to what your experiencing but there is quite a bit you could relate too.

This book was so helpful for not only my children, fiancé and myself. I never should have thought my anxiety was heart shaped box. I would highly recommend this book

This book helped me more than anything else I’ve tried. Thank you.

I read this book and in the beginning I actually agreed with some of the coping mechanisms but as I read on, I almost burst out in laughter like seriously? I wouldn’t recommend!

This book talks about how different his story is, even with his short lived therapy but then uses the exact same techniques as therapists, even down to distorted negative thinking.

too good to be free. i will read this over and over for the rest of my life
