This short book is full of accessible introductory information about mindfulness for anxiety relief. The book is full of mindfulness tools, and the author first explains the science behind each tool and then provides a guided practice. I had encountered most of the topics in this book before, but I greatly appreciated having them all together in this book and found it to be very helpful.

I have asthma and anxiety, the two combined can really make each other worse. Breathe In Calm is full of tools, information and tips to help those who suffer from anxiety. It uses neuroscience to help you understand and take charge of your anxiety. One massive take away I learned was to be proactive. One of the worse things about anxiety that It can be perceived as controlling us and taking our control away. Breathe In Calm taught me instead that I do have control and I can help prevent anxiety. I highly recommend this for those that have anxiety in their life.

An excellent introduction to how to control one's anxiety with easy-to-follow instructions for taking a "peaceful pause" whenever you need one. Thanks to NetGailley for giving me an advance copy in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you NetGalley and New Harbinger Publication for this arc in exchange for an honest review.
I really enjoyed this book and will use it as a reference book in the future. It is filled with good information.
The book is organized by mindfulness tools and how to apply them to real life. The mindfulness tools covered include: the observer tool, the breathing tool, the grounding tool, the acceptance tool, the choice tool, and the kindness tool.
The author then covers understanding rest and digest, which I loved because I think the vagus nerve is often overlook.
I especially enjoyed the grounding in nature content. The author does a wonderful job of explaining earthing and how the digital world is affecting us.
Each chapter offers thoughtful content and tools. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in developing a mindfulness practice. If anxiety is something that you suffer from, this is an excellent resource.

This book was an easy read. It explains everything plain and simple and the exercises are helpful. But I already knew most of what was told in the book so it wasn’t a real eyeopener. Nevertheless very informative if you are new on the subject.
