Helping young people with anxiety learn to recognise and manage
their symptoms, this anxiety survival guide teaches young people
aged 10+ how they can overcome their biggest worries. Showing that
anxiety is a normal human emotion that many people face, this book
helps young people understand the ins and outs of their own anxiety
and helps them to challenge the difficult patterns they may get
into. Co-written with a college student who has experienced anxiety
herself, it is a relatable and straightforward guide. As well as
providing tried-and-tested advice and exercises that are proven to
reduce feelings of anxiety, it includes recovery stories from young
people who have managed their symptoms successfully. With practical
chapters on sleep, exam stress, transitions, and seeking extra
help, this is a go-to guide for any tween, teen or young person
living with anxiety.
This is a guide to the emotional and interpersonal issues you may encounter as a young adult, packed with advice and real-life stories of hope and resilience from people in similar situations. This book will help you to gain an understanding of the influence of your early emotional experiences, and share tried-and-tested strategies, drawing on a range of psychological approaches and evidence-based strategies.
This book also looks at how emotions can affect our relationships, with a focus on building empathy for others, getting what you want out of friendships and relationships and dealing with the hard parts like boundaries and saying no, making amends when needed, and recognising and breaking problematic relationship patterns.
With personal stories and resources throughout, this is a guide to refer to as little or often as you like, helping you to understand your emotions and find the strategies that work best for you.
Can a writing textbook inform and entertain? Can a very brief
rhetoric also function as a stand-alone guide to college writing?
Yes and yes. Speaking of Writing is a concise yet comprehensive
rhetoric with readings. Informed by scholarship in Writing Studies,
this book follows four college students from diverse backgrounds as
they face the challenges of reading, writing, and critical thinking
in first-year writing and across the disciplines. Each chapter
engages students in relatable, often humorous scenarios that focus
on key challenges. Through its story-based approach, Speaking of
Writing enacts student-centered and process-based pedagogy, showing
students learning to address fundamental questions: How can I apply
my own strategies for success to new assignments? How can I
maintain my own voice when asked to compose in an academic style?
What do college professors mean by a "thesis," and how is this
different from what my high-school teachers meant? Why is this
argument weak, and how can I make it stronger? The book's narrative
vividly dramatizes a draft-and-revision process that includes
instructor feedback, peer review, and careful research.
