The Big Activity Book for Anxious People - Paperback

by Jordan Reid (Author), Erin Williams (Author)

Reid & Williams are "funny as hell."--Amy Morrison, founder of Pregnant Chicken

Feeling anxious? Who isn't! Your most irrational (and sometimes rational) fears are hilarious fodder for this sharp and relatable activity book.

These days, anxiety is simply part of the human experience. Part journal, part coloring book, part weird coping mechanisms, and part compendium of soothing facts, The Big Activity Book for Anxious People will be an outlet for anyone who wants to take a break from reality, laugh through her fears, and realize with every page that she is not alone--and to help her figure out what to do when it's 3AM and she's wide awake worrying about whether she cc'ed the right "Bob" on that email. (Probably.)

Activities include:

Fun Facts about Aging!

Public Speaking: A Diagram

Your Hotel Room Carpet: A Petri Dish of Horrors

Obscure Diseases You Probably Don't Have

Zen Mantras For The Anxiously Inclined

Soothing Facts about Hand Sanitizer

On a bad day, try coloring in the soothing grandma. On a really bad day, find step-by-step instructions on how to build an underground bunker. Reid and Williams want everyone to remember that they're in good company: anxious people are some of the funniest and most interesting and creative humans on the planet. (They know, because they are two of them.)
