Overview
This Owen O'Kane two-book set pairs Addicted to Anxiety with Ten Times Happier, bringing together two practical, evidence-informed guides from a bestselling psychotherapist known for his clear, compassionate approach to mental wellbeing and everyday stress. Addicted to Anxiety unpacks how anxious habits quietly take root and become self-perpetuating, while Ten Times Happier distills CBT, mindfulness, and interpersonal therapy into everyday tools for calmer living. Together the two titles give adult readers a grounded, actionable toolkit for recognizing worry patterns and building lasting resilience over time.

About the Books
Addicted to Anxiety examines the surprising ways anxious thoughts and behaviors can become habitual, offering a compassionate framework for spotting triggers and short-term coping mechanisms that end up prolonging distress rather than relieving it. Owen O'Kane draws on years of clinical experience as a psychotherapist to walk readers through practical, psychoeducation-based exercises designed to build awareness, reduce avoidance, and gradually replace unhelpful cycles with steadier, more confident responses to stress. Ten Times Happier takes a broader, more structured approach, distilling core techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and interpersonal therapy into ten manageable areas of everyday life, from how readers relate to the past and their own minds to relationships, worry, behavior, and future planning. Each chapter is built around concrete, doable steps rather than abstract theory, making the book especially useful for readers who want measurable, sustainable progress. Read together, the two titles form a natural progression: one helps readers understand why anxiety persists, and the other supplies day-to-day tools to loosen its grip. Both share O'Kane's signature voice, direct, warm, and free of jargon, which has made him a go-to author for realistic, therapist-backed guidance that busy adults can put into practice right away, at home or on the go.
