Actually helpful and insightful

It's been a long time since I've read or listened to a self help book that was actually helpful, but "The Cognitive Behavioral Workbook for Anxiety" was that and more.
The author goes through many different types of anxieties and then provides actionable and actually relevant and helpful coping strategies and paths forward. Each type of anxiety is given individual attention and targeted strategies. Most authors just pick their own favorite method, such as mindfulness, and then act like it will magically treat every issue under the sun. Not here though, each chapter provides clear and anxiety specific tools to address that type of anxiety.
I was very impressed and glad that I picked this one up!
