The Anxiety Toolkit
by Alice Boyes
A former clinical psychologist's book for high-functioning anxious people: hesitancy, rumination, perfectionism, fear of feedback and avoidance, with quizzes and specific strategies for each. It is pitched at competent people whose anxiety costs them opportunities rather than function, and it is practical throughout.
Read it if…
you are successful and anxious, and the anxiety is holding back the next step.
Skip it if…
you have a clinical disorder; this is for subclinical patterns.
Three things you will actually use
- Anxiety shows as hesitation and avoidance; notice them.
- Act before you feel ready; waiting is the trap.
- Perfectionism is anxiety in disguise.
Do this first
Take the quizzes and start with your highest-scoring pattern.
Our verdict
Practical for the high-functioning.
