The Three Mental Health Self-Help Books You Need to Change Your Life

Discover the series from internationally bestselling author Gwendoline Smith on how best to manage mental health difficulties. Grounded in CBT, this collection of New Zealand psychologist Gwendoline Smith's bestselling mental-health self-help books offers practical, accessible advice for all the key areas of your life, helping you regain control over feelings of overwhelm (THE BOOK OF KNOWING), how to stop the cycle of worry (THE BOOK OF OVERTHINKING) and how to understand and deal with anxiety (THE BOOK OF ANGST). THE BOOK OF KNOWING: Written in an accessible and humorous style, this book teaches you to know what's going on in your mind and how to get your feelings under control. It'll help you adapt and feel better about your place in the world. THE BOOK OF OVERTHINKING: Overthinking is also known as worrying or ruminating and it's a form of anxiety that many people suffer from. This book explains in clear and simple language the concepts of positive and negative overthinking, the truth about worry and how to deal with the 'thought viruses' that are holding you back. THE BOOK OF ANGST: There's a lot of angst around these days. This heightened sense of fear, concern, insecurity and uncertainty can be overwhelming. This book explains what angst is and the ways in which deep anxiety can manifest, before drilling down into the often under-diagnosed but extremely common social anxiety. *** Across all three books, Gwendoline's warm, accessible tone, smart advice and accompanying illustrations helps you better understand what's going on in your head, using humour, lots of examples and anecdotes, and offering powerful strategies for addressing your issues.
