When Your Mind Screams

This self-help guide is written for adults who live with anxiety, including panic attacks, and want more calm and confidence in their everyday lives. Christopher Glatis shares his own path from hiding his anxiety to living openly with it, and that personal story runs through the whole book. Its candid anecdotes invite readers to rethink how they relate to their anxious feelings.

Rather than urging readers to fight their fear, the author argues for a counterintuitive approach: moving toward fear instead of retreating from it. Alongside this change in outlook, the book presents practical techniques for slowing down, breathing, building mindfulness, and taking charge of troubling thoughts. The tone is compassionate throughout, and the book treats self-acceptance as the path to lasting inner peace.

Readers who struggle with anxiety themselves will find tools they can apply directly. Those who want to support someone close to them through anxiety will find guidance for that role as well.
