Helpful worksheets, exercises, and examples throughout give the reader the tools and encouragement they need to challenge their own 'anxious fictions, ' reduce procrastination and avoidance, and make decisions that are guided by values rather than fears."
--Lauren S. Hallion, PhD, assistant professor in the department of psychology at the University of Pittsburgh--Lauren S. Hallion, PhD

"In Show Your Anxiety Who's Boss, Joel Minden presents a cogent yet practical account of how to manage anxiety and its various manifestations. Minden does a phenomenal job extrapolating the science and practice of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and presents these concepts in terms that are easy to understand for any consumer. Many books of this nature fail to provide terms that are appealing to the reader, in addition to providing step-by-step instructions for managing anxiety. Minden accomplishes this task by 'calling out' anxiety and its various forms while providing practical strategies for managing anxiety. A must-read!"
--Kevin Chapman, PhD, licensed psychologist, and founder and director of the Kentucky Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders (KY-CARDS)--Kevin Chapman, PhD
"Using his clinical expertise, Joel Minden has taken wisdom from decades of anxiety treatment research and distilled it into an accessible, compelling book. Show Your Anxiety Who's Boss guides readers through practical steps for accepting and coping with emotions, so that they can pursue meaningful lives that are unhindered by anxiety. Through relatable examples and engaging explanations, Minden has provided an outstanding resource for people seeking effective strategies for managing their mental health. As a therapist, I can't wait to share these tools with my clients so they can take charge of their anxiety and experience greater joy!"
--Kathryn H. Gordon, PhD, licensed psychologist and adjunct research scientist--Kathryn H. Gordon, PhD
"While many books provide tools for managing anxiety, Show Your Anxiety Who's Boss teaches readers how to uproot two of anxiety's most powerful lifelines: inflexibility and avoidance. Using warmth and humor, Joel Minden invites us to examine the rigid thought patterns that keep us stuck, to use values rather than emotions to guide our actions, and to 'drop the rope' in the relentless tug-of-war that anxiety plays with our minds, bodies, and spirits. This book offers so much more than a comprehensive program for the successful management of anxiety. It delivers a call to courage and bestows an opportunity to build a road map to a braver, fuller, more meaningful life."
