The importance of this book cannot be overstated. Whether you're a parent, grandparent, teacher, or caretaker of a girl, the information contained within the pages of Under Pressure is invaluable. Dr. Damour wrote an engaging book with excellent insight into the workings of young ladies' minds. She provides real-world examples and accessible guidance to assist our girls in managing stress and anxiety. This book couldn't have come at a better time, as I just recently realized what a large percentage of my friends' daughters have mild to severe anxiety. I was glad to not feel alone in this situation, and this book helped to allay my concerns even further. As alarming as this epidemic may seem, I am grateful to Dr. Damour for giving solid suggestions as to how to deal with specific situations.
What made it most relevant is how the reader is informed about what normal/healthy behavior looks like as a gauge by which to measure your own girls' situation. What may seem like abnormal anxiety, may in fact be quite typic.
So, if you're looking for a book with sage advice in dealing with girls' anxiety in this day and age, look no further.
Many thanks to Net Galley and Random House for gifting me with a copy of this eBook in exchange for an honest review. This title will be released on Feb. 12!
