The Anxiety Sisters' Survival Guide: How You Can Become More Hopeful, Connected, and Happy

I loved this book so much that I ordered the Audible version also to hear the authors reading themselves. This is practical advice that is easily understood with just the right amount of humor blended in. Anyone of any sex or age can benefit from this book. 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As a practicing psychologist, I found this book very useful for all my "anxiety sufferers". The authors were especially insightful, having experience personally AND professionally. I would not hesitate to recommend this book to all mental health professionals as well as anyone who relates to being an Anxiety Sister (or brother for that matter)!

The Anxiety Sisters, Abbe and Maggie, have this wonderful ability to address this topic thoughtfully and seriously in their book, but at the same time make me laugh and smile throughout it. I once kept my anxiety to myself (though it's hard to discreetly wash up to ones elbows in a public restroom, as if preparing to remove a gallbladder). Listening to their podcast "The Spin Cylce", and now reading their book, has me speaking more freely about my OCD, as the sense of community they've fostered has helped to lift the embarrassment I once felt. Thank you for helping to "normalize" what once made me feel painfully abnormal.

Usually anxiety books actually give me anxiety! I have trouble reading them without feeling worse! But this book is different. The book is written in a way that is so friendly and warm that I don't feel anxious reading it. There is a lot of information, and so much to learn. The best part is that the help is practical and I can do it. This is a funny book but also deeply intelligent and useful. Again, it will not make you more anxious....it will help you a lot. This is a must read!

I was really excited to read this book when I got it, but it's been even better than I thought! I feel like I'm having a conversation with Abs and Mags right in front of me while I'm reading. The advice in the book is specific and meaningful and I really love how they support what their saying with science, or interviews with other Anxiety Sisters, or even doodles! They also balanced all of these elements well so I never felt overwhelmed with the science (english major here!) or distracted by the doodles. It helps me so much to understand why different things happen so I can find effective solutions and coping techniques and this book gave me both!I feel so much more prepared to deal with my anxiety symptoms without making myself wrong for feeling them. It's one thing to get all of the advice that this book has, but it's all framed in positivity and self-kindness, which makes such a difference. I already tell everyone I can about this book and I can't recommend it enough! If you have Anxiety or know someone who does, this book is life changing! Abs and Mags share everything they can with NO judgement over what coping techniques work for each person. Survival guide is the perfect description!

For one who lives with mild anxiety, the anxiety sisters have provided lots of useful ways to live my life more happily and with less stress. The guide reads very easily and with humor that keeps you reading on. For us with less anxiety issues, the "anxiety sisters" has educated me in how to accept and cope with family, friends, and others who live with higher levels of anxiety. This guide makes a great gift for anybody you know. I repeat......a wonderful read for all.

Happened upon this book via their FB page. These gals know the struggle and explain it so very well! Anxiety is a disorder, a misfiring of your brain. It is not a decision you make and that fact is so often overseen. Step by step, broken down and useful info for how to live with your disorder. Love this book and its value is endless! Do yourself a favor and buy it now!

I recommend this book to all my friends, family members, and even strangers. This is a very anxiety inducing time in our world right now and we are all going through something new and challenging. I think every person could use these tools in their daily life and utilize them in any stressful situation. As someone who has been a long time anxiety sufferer, this book has truly helped jumpstart my healing journey. It is exactly the book I needed right now. Thank you Anxiety Sisters!--Jessica Shea Alverson
