Hack Your Anxiety: How to Make Anxiety Work for You in Life, Love, and All That You Do

I was very interested to read this book as I do have anxiety (GAD) which sometimes involves panic attacks. I have basically had this since I was around 14ish and have spent years trying to deal with and accept having this condition. Hack Your Anxiety has a lot of case studies, history, and offers much motivation with the idea of harnessing it as a positive thing. I think this book would have helped me when I was struggling as a teen to identify what was going on but I really didn't find it helpful for me now. I think I need a more step by step technique worksheet to go along with the positive affirmation. That being said, I do think it will help some people suffering with anxiety as every person is different and the way to work with anxiety will also differ. It is definitely worth a read if only to understand the history and current knowledge about anxiety. It is very well written and you can feel the author's passion for this subject and wanting to help others.
