Anxious for Answers by Ilene S. Cohen provides a comprehensive overview of anxiety and how to manage chronic anxiety. Cohen’s narrative is relatable and knowledgeable as it walks the reader step-by-step through ingrained systems of anxious behaviors. She teaches the reader to observe and recognize patterns using the Bowen Family Systems Theory, as well as through her own personal experiences or applicable scenarios that illustrate modern anxieties. She provides simple and well-rounded approaches to the complexity of the subject with an organized flow throughout the book. The summaries and activities provided at the end of each chapter build on the concepts and make them more meaningful and applicable for the reader. Additionally, she provides techniques for managing anxiety naturally through behavioral changes, essential oils, and nutritional recommendations.
Cohen’s authenticity and passion for the subject shine through in her work and makes it stand apart from the typical dry or repetitive self-help books. She provides the tools to understand yourself, to understand the connectivity of the relationships around us, and to be able to make changes and grow with this knowledge. I would recommend this book to anyone since it is informative, yet light, easy to read, and relatable in many aspects.
Sublime Line: “A highly informative, unique, and easy-to-read look at anxiety and how to understand and manage it with the proper tools and techniques.”
