Review Quotes

"A great resource that provides a bounty of information about anxiety in a succinct way that is neither too academic nor talks down to the reader. The interventions encourage honest and compassionate self-exploration, and the narrative examples sprinkled throughout the book put a personal spin on research-based information. This book would be a great resource for any man ready to dive into the process of reducing the role anxiety plays in his daily life and looking for a supportive framework. I'm looking forward to recommending it to my own therapy clients." --Ariane Corcoran, LMFT, LPC

"Simon G. Niblock grew up in the do-it-yourself culture of New Zealand and spent many of his adult years working in the high-pressure business world. Now, he's helping men deal with the anxieties created by those same pressures. In this book, Simon has combined evidence-based science with Kiwi common sense to produce a DIY toolkit for managing anxiety." --James H. Grubbs, M.D., child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist

"While uncertainty and worry are running rampant in the air right now, anxiety is experienced by many, more than ever before. Men have a special challenge, often holding in the distress they may be feeling. Simon Niblock has put together a terrific resource targeting the symptoms, behaviors, and stories men tell themselves that keep them locked in the misery of anxiety and/or depression. This is a comprehensive workbook that both explains and demystifies the way anxiety can dictate thought patterns, emotions, and even physical symptoms, and offers a wide variety of written exercises and activities that will loosen the bonds of that anxiety and allow for more freedom and flexibility in men's lives. The workbook stands alone as a self-guided resource but could also be a good road map used by therapists for their male clients and men's groups in addressing the intense distress of anxiety." --Martha Marshall, LPC, Wild Basin Wellness
