"This book was truly a pleasure to read.  The authors did a tremendous job of explaining the relationship between the brain and anxiety in very user-friendly language.  The inclusion of exercises throughout the book provided a hands-on opportunity to begin using the strategies discussed. I would highly recommend this book."

"As I read the book, I automatically thought of many of my own patients who could benefit from the exercises and examples presented in it. The exercises show young people how to relieve themselves of negative and futile self-judgements.  Instead, alternatives are offered to guide a teen on an optimistic, self-directed journey toward mastery of troubling anxiety by literally “rewiring” an anxious brain. Most teens will easily be able to see themselves in the examples and gain a more realistic understanding of anxiety. They will also see that following the exercises will ultimately result in greater self esteem."

"Rewire Your Anxious Brain for Teens is a refreshing approach to helping young people understand anxiety and how to master it.  By often offering two examples of teens with anxiety at a time, the reader is able to clearly see the difference between skillful and unskillful approaches to anxiety.  Rather than talk down to teens, the authors appeal to teen skepticism with credible reasoning backed by science. The book is full of practical see-for-yourself exercises with easy-to-understand explanations of how these new skills literally impact the brain.  I learned a lot that I wish I had known when I was a teenager."

"Researchers know more about the processes that produce anxiety disorders in the human brain than they do about any other disorders. This should be the best news for teens suffering from anxiety disorders, but the problem is, can the average teenage anxiety sufferer UNDERSTAND the brain processes that need to be changed in order to overcome an anxiety disorder? Based on their combined 100+ years of working with anxious teens, these authors have put together an amazing book that not only explains the anxious brain in language a teen can understand, but also provides exercises and strategies that give teens the resources they need to change their brains in order to have needed control over their anxiety. With clear examples and explanations, the book pulls readers in, preparing them to engage in the process of taking charge of their lives. This book is a dream come true for anxious teens and the therapists who help them. It will change millions of lives."

"For teens experiencing the challenge of anxiety, this book is a treasure-trove of valuable tools, presented in an effective and easy-to-understand style.   What makes this book especially valuable for teens is the format: the reader is prompted and encouraged to bring powerful tools on board through specific exercises, many of which take only a few minutes.   Specific tools empower the reader to:

• understand and befriend the experience of anxiety
• become a “positive coach” for oneself
• practice mindfulness and meditation
• build resilience
• learn to “dial down” intense emotions
• overcome procrastination
• enhance one’s ability to focus and to move towards fulfilling goals
• overcome social anxiety
