Anxiety Books and Journals

Sometimes the useful thing is someone else's account of it.

Our anxiety books fall into three kinds. Children's books, for the little ones struggling with big emotions. Workbooks, for when you want something to do rather than something to read. And guided journals for anxiety, which give you a prompt instead of a blank page, because a blank page is its own small obstacle.

Self help books for anxiety can be a lot. These are chosen for being readable rather than exhaustive, and none of them assume you have an hour and a quiet room.

From $12, shipped from Kitchener, Ontario.

Three kinds of book, three different days

Children's books are for the littles who are having a hard time understanding their big emotions.

Workbooks are for when reading is not enough and you want a method. Most are built on cognitive behavioural therapy, which means structured exercises rather than encouragement.

Guided journals sit between the two. A prompt asks you something specific, which is considerably easier than a blank page at the end of a hard day.

On not finishing them

Most people do not finish self help books, and that is fine. A workbook you use three exercises from has earned its place. A journal you fill in twice a week is working.

Nothing here has a schedule, and there is nothing to fall behind on.

Where to go from here

Prefer something you can print and reuse? Our digital downloads include printable workbooks and thought records.

Want something to hold rather than read? Browse fidget rings, worry stones and fidget toys.

Buying for someone else? A book pairs well with a small tool. See our self care gift sets.

Frequently asked questions

Are these books about anxiety specifically?
Most of them, yes. Some are memoirs about living with it, some are workbooks with exercises to do, and some are guided journals with prompts rather than blank pages. Each product page says which kind it is, since they suit quite different moods.
What is the difference between a journal and a workbook?
A workbook has structured exercises with a method behind them, usually drawn from cognitive behavioural therapy. A journal gives you prompts and space to write whatever comes. Workbooks suit people who want a process. Journals suit people who want somewhere to put things down.
Do I have to write in it every day?
No, and most people do not. A journal you use twice a week is more useful than one you feel guilty about abandoning. There is no schedule here and nothing to fall behind on.
Are any of these printable rather than physical?
Some are. Our printable workbooks and journals are instant downloads you print yourself, and they are in our digital downloads collection. Physical books ship from Kitchener, Ontario like everything else.
Can a book replace therapy?
No, and none of these claim to. A memoir can make you feel less alone and a workbook can teach you a technique, but neither is treatment. Plenty of people read alongside therapy or while waiting for an appointment.
Which should I start with?
If you want to feel understood, start with a memoir. If you want something to do, start with a workbook. If you want somewhere to put your thoughts without a method attached, start with a guided journal.
Do you ship books across Canada?
Yes. We ship from Kitchener, Ontario to Canada, the United States and internationally. Canadian orders arrive without surprise customs charges.
