The Anxiety and Worry Workbook
by David A. Clark & Aaron T. Beck
Summary
Co-written by the founder of cognitive therapy himself, this workbook applies the core CBT model specifically to anxiety and chronic worry, with the exercises and rigor of a clinical program. If Feeling Great or Mind Over Mood felt broad, this is the more anxiety-specific companion, built on the same foundational research.
Who it's for
Readers whose primary struggle is anxiety and worry specifically (rather than depression), who want a CBT workbook built specifically around that presentation.
Key takeaways
- A CBT model specifically tailored to anxiety and chronic worry, rather than a general-purpose mood workbook
- Structured worksheets for testing the accuracy of anxious predictions against what actually happens
- Techniques for reducing both the frequency and intensity of worry episodes over time
David A. Clark, a leading anxiety researcher, teamed up with Aaron Beck — the founder of cognitive therapy — to adapt the core CBT model specifically for anxiety and chronic worry, rather than depression more broadly.
The result is a workbook with real clinical pedigree that stays tightly focused on anxious and worry-driven thinking specifically, making it a strong pick for readers whose main struggle isn’t low mood but persistent, hard-to-shut-off worry.
