The book is very intuitive and personal. I've listened to some episodes of Morra's podcast for all over the years and I find this book provides a deeper understanding of her and the mental health stories of her guests.

This book provides insights and lessons for the struggles of many leaders who put up their brave faces for their employees and organization.

"The Anxious Achiever" is a must-read for any adult who is driven to perform in an environment that pushes toxic positivity and blurry boundaries in the name of success. By normalizing mental health needs, Aarons-Mele gives readers the tools to be empowered to recognize what they need, lead by example, and feel unashamed to ask for help.

Anxiety in the workplace can be a leadership superpower. If you don't believe that statement is true, then you really need to read this book. The book lays a path for how to manage workplace anxiety and better yet, how to harness it to become an even more effective leader.

This book was really good and it was the right time for me to read it because it was very relevant to me and what I’m dealing with. This book was well researched and I know I’ll revisit it over the years.

I'm often skeptical of these kinds of books, but The Anxious Achiever is the real deal. This is a well-researched look at not only how we experience anxiety in the workplace, but also WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. That emphasis on actionable advice, combined with the author's approachable tone and style, are what sets this book apart from its navel-gazing peers. This is a fast read that you'll come back to again and again.

I think back to a testimonial I read on Susan Cain's Bittersweet. When author Glennon Doyle says Cain "described and validated my existence," I can't improve on that assessment. I echo it with regards to The Anxious Achiever. Aarons-Mele complements her empathetic and sober insights with empowering prescriptive guidance. Readers learn to take specific actions to assert agency and manage the self-defeating voices of anxiety.
