There's a lot of angst around these days. This heightened sense of fear, concern, insecurity and uncertainty can be overwhelming.

Bestselling author of The Book of Overthinking and The Book of Knowing Gwendoline Smith explains what angst is and the ways in which deep anxiety can manifest.

Gwendoline then drills down into social anxiety, which is often underdiagnosed but is one of the most common of the anxiety family.

Using simple, clear language and humorous illustrations, Gwendoline gives detailed step-by-step advice on how to cope.

"In The Book of Angst, Smith breaks her down her expertise into three parts. In the first, she explores and explains the different kinds of anxiety a person can experience. In the second, she explores social anxiety. And in the third, she provides the reader with homework. It's in this third section that we take our solitary, and free (aside from the price of the book) therapy sessions. Filled with her signature illustrations and ease of language, The Book of Angst is a helpful read for uncertain times." - Villainesse
