Review Quotes:
"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

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

Review Quotes:
"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
