A practical guide to recognizing and interrupting anxious habits

Kathleen Smith frames anxiety as a pattern that can be confronted rather than a condition that must dictate every response. Drawing on her work as a licensed therapist, she combines client-based anecdotes with short chapters and actionable exercises designed to help readers examine insecurity, build a steadier sense of self, and respond more deliberately under pressure. Humor is part of the book’s stated approach, alongside discussion of how anxiety can show up in family life, workplaces, and wider social environments. The emphasis stays on practical self-observation and usable tools for changing habitual reactions.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults seeking self-help tools for anxiety and insecurity
  • Readers who prefer brief chapters with exercises and illustrative anecdotes
  • People interested in how anxiety affects family and work relationships

Book overview

In the spirit of You Are a Badass and The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck, a helpful and humorous guide to shedding our anxious habits and building a more solid sense of self in an increasingly anxiety-inducing world.

"The perfect blend of hard science and warm wit that helps you understand where your anxiety comes from and then manage the fallout." --Sarah Knight, New York Times bestselling author of Calm the F*ck Down

Licensed therapist and mental health writer Dr. Kathleen Smith offers a smart, practical antidote to our anxiety-ridden times. Everything Isn't Terrible is informative and practical, featuring a healthy dose of humor for people who want to become beacons of calmness in their families, at work, and in our anxious world. Everything Isn't Terrible will inspire you to confront your anxious self, take charge of your anxiety, and increase your own capacity to choose how you respond to it.

Comprised of short chapters containing anecdotal examples from Smith's work with her clients, in addition to engaging, actionable exercises for readers, Everything Isn't Terrible will give anyone suffering from anxiety all the tools they need to finally ... calm ... down.

Living a calmer, less anxious life--one that isn't terrible--is possible, and with this book you'll learn how to do it.
