Knight created a journal that's easy to follow and has enough humor to offset the difficult emotions the journal addresses. While much of Knight's advice can feel like common sense, having her structured prompts simplifies applying that common sense to individual lives.

10/10 Would Recommend! The book/journal is wonderful. It's super informative, incredibly approachable, and inspires action. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who experiences anxiety, is close to someone who does, or is just curious .

This journal was my first encounter with this writer, though I’ve purchased her books for my library. There wasn’t anything egregious about it. It goes through many of the common issues anxiety-sufferers face and offers some concrete tools to curb anxiety. It just seemed a bit rushed and a bit flip. The author seems to acknowledge these things but doesn’t really resolve them. Overall, I flipped through it pretty rapidly and don’t intend to attempt the exercises.

This a journal to use to try to help with your anxiety. I thought the author was pretty funny most of the time but borderline offensive at other times. I'm not sure how helpful this journal would be for people with pretty serious anxiety but for someone who is dealing with situational anxiety the exercises, charts and journal prompts may be more helpful. Thank you to NetGalley and Little, Brown and Company for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to the publisher and to Net Galley. I appreciate the ARC for review. My review opinion is my own and cross posted.

I never read the author's other books but I am a fan of self help books. Who is today's society is not riddled with anxiety and worry between the state of our country, our environmental decline and the economy ? We can all use a little help in the form of self study and learning a new viewpoint. So I went into this book with a open mind . I did enjoy the humor as you normally do not find humor in the author's anecdotes. I liked that it is a journal that I can refer to again and again. . I admit it did help me determine how to work with my anxiety in other method;s regular self help books do not. So I enjoyed the learning experience and will continue to do the journal .

The art of not giving a f*ck has been a topic of conversation for several years now. I am not a person who deals with general anxiety and have not read any of the other books in this group. So, why did I choose to read this one? Well, the title made me laugh and I was interested in how a journal would work on my Kindle.

Early in this journal, there is a quiz. The quiz is designed to help you identify what kind of anxiety responses you are experiencing. I ended up with a score of no anxiety, maybe I should gift this book. That was good news, and I read the remaining pages anyhow.

There was a lot of blank space in this journal, not a lot to read. But what was there was humorous and insightful. I can understand why so many people enjoy Knight's philosophy and writing.

The journal has several prompts to encourage you to think about past stressful experiences and allow you to work through them to help build new responses. I have not bought a focused, guided journal in the past, but I do think they are interesting and helpful. Taking things out of the big picture to explore them individually can certainly be helpful. For the Kindle version, one would certainly need an additional notebook. And maybe it would be nice to use that notebook solely for responding to this journal.

This journal is scheduled to be available at the end of October, just in time to record all our holiday anxieties.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book. I have voluntarily left this review.

This wasn’t the best book about dealing with anxiety. It was really repetitive and the author thinks she’s funnier than she really is. I gave it three stars mostly for the flow chart near the end that actually seems helpful.

Just like the NotSorry Method in The Life Changing Magic of Not Giving a Fuck, this journal has a similar kind of method that underpins the whole: The NoWorries Method.

The main difference between this book and the previous mentioned one is where Not Giving a Fuck centred around physical environment, Calm the Fuck Down speaks to mental environment.

Just like last time, this book splits things into two steps: 1) Calming the fuck down, and 2) Dealing with it -- whatever 'it' happens to be.

The one thing I particular loved about this book was the question asked about a third of the way through, after the premise of the whole book had been established. Can I control it?. That's it. Very simple.

The journal is filled with places in between Sarah's advice where a person can fill in their own situations and work their very own way to calming the fuck down.

The standard advice/techniques, presented with swear words, to interject humor. Despite its obvious attempt at being fresh, there was nothing new here. With that said, it does offer common sense methods for organizing oneself when faced with a mental overload of worry.

This book is a simple, straightforward and quick journal to help dealing with anxiety. I appreciated that the author keeps the overall tone light and humorous. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in reading something outside of the typical anxiety self-help books, which tend to be very serious and lack any humor.

This book/journal was hilarious! I have not read her other works, but have definitely seen them around. This has made me want to read her whole backlist! I really like how the journal flows and is broken up. I want to give this book to everyone I know! Thank you for the opportunity to read/review/ work through this book/journal.

I've struggled with anxiety for years and never found anything that really worked to alleviate it. I saw this book on Netgalley and thought I'd give it a try.

Calm the F*ck Down Journal definitely has some very useful tips that I will be going back to (the book is on my phone, so easy access) when I am too anxious to actually think. Sarah Knight has been there done that with anxiety and gave what she thought would be useful to others. I do want to check out her first book and see what advice is different in the books.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.
This isn't the best anxiety reducing book I've read but I did enjoy the author's sense of humor. This book is good for people who have more situational anxiety rather than generalized anxiety.

I am not a usual self-help book picker, but the title attracted my eye, it could relate to a phase am facing. And boy, did it work its magic! It wasn't a soothing or pitying book.
No, no. It was a fiesty book shaking you and asking you wtf is wrong with you? Pause and reflect.

Anxiety is often a personal state that no other understands, its so common that its ignored and shamed. But believe me, it needs more care than that. Asking someone to calm the fuck down without being in their shoes is like like an uncomfortable corset, pretty. Until you are in it, you don't get to feel it.

Its unexplainable but it can be controlled. It can be reflected upon and changed with the right mind and right attitude

So this book, really helped and I'd recommend anyone going through anxiety or stress to give it a read.

Thanks for this opportunity NetGalley and Sarah Knight, this journal is something that I laughed out loud while reading and while still getting some insight. Definitely worth a try!

Thank you NetGalley and Little Brown and Company for giving me this advanced readers copy.

I love how Sarah talks about anxiety in a very down to earth way. I love her straight forward approach to the ever so stressful topic. I also enjoy the questions and workbook type exercises! This book is great for anyone who wants the down and dirty truthfulness about anxiety.

This is a great way to put yourself into the book. With most self-help books it's just something you read and hope it what you read sticks long enough to help you, but with a journal you have to actually stop and try to make it work.
As someone who reads so many self-help books I often get to a point where I don't even remember what the previous one told me; a journal is a much better alternative.

This has helped me in so many ways. This journal and the book came in to my life at the perfect time. It really helps to clear all of these what if's that take up space in your mind. I recommend this book to anyone who has anxiety.

this was a fun and entertaining collection of journal prompts. As a person with general anxiety, this made me laugh while also making me think about things in a new way.

I love this book! It is not a traditional self-help book. The way it is presented is real and gives real analogies that are relatable. There are reasons for everything and how or why it could help you. There are plenty of "is this book for you" questions that help you pinpoint how you are. It includes questions with lines to respond as well as pages for some of the questions that might have longer responses. Overall, there are so many good things about this book because it actually teaches you how to deal. For me, I already practice some of the things in the book, but there were plenty of other ideas that made it worth reading.
