Get Out of Your Head: A Toolkit for Living with and Overcoming Anxiety by Brian Sachetta is a non-fiction memoir and self-help book on the subject of anxiety. In this book, Brian has written an excellent and thorough introduction to the subject that describes what this book is about, his reasons for writing it, and how the book is organized, among other things. Then the book jumps into exploring the core issue of anxiety and is divided into two main sections. The first section defines and describes anxiety, which is one of the most common mental illnesses worldwide, and various ways and coping strategies to help ourselves get out of an acute anxiety attack or panic state, etc. The second part flows on from this first part and we learn how to prevent or at least minimize the frequency of these anxiety episodes itself, and various ways and helpful means to do that without the aid of expensive drugs or therapy.

Get Out of Your Head is a very well written book and Brian’s sincerity and candidness are what make this book different. It is true that the field of mental health is woefully underdeveloped and we still don’t know the basic functioning of the mind and consciousness, let alone its remedies. Under these conditions, a lot of people waste their time on medication, therapy, etc. and this combined with the mental health stigma in society doesn’t do much to actually help the patient. In this book, Brian provides many strategies and tools for people to understand their own mind, and where they are coming from and why, along with some great examples which I liked. He writes in an easy, friendly, conversational tone that is helpful and healing at the same time. Generalized anxiety disorder is one of the most common mental illnesses, and I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who needs help!
