How to Bust the Worry Warts was written by Chris Wever and drawn by Neil Phillips. Both Chris and Neil are consultant psychiatrists. They created this book to help children who experience unnecessary, exaggerated, and terrifying worries. The book features Worry Warts who float around making mischief by pushing useless, painful, and ridiculous worries into the minds of children. This causes children to suffer and lose confidence.
Every idea in the book is illustrated with a cartoon. Cartoons help children understand what is happening and that helps recovery. They also encourage children to use the power of their own imaginations to invent ways of chasing the Worry Warts away. One of the main aims of the book is to show children how to sort real worries from Worry Wart worries. In the book, this is done by a cartoon style "Worry Checking Machine". The machine tips Worry Wart worries down the drain and keeps the real worries to be discussed with a trusted adult.
The "Fearsome Hound of Panic" is the Worry Warts' secret weapon. It appears late in the book and, although it is a terrifying beast, a child can learn how to turn it into just a whining "Panic Puppy" by applying the relaxation, mindfulness, and imagery techniques learned from a counsellor. On the last page, two Worry Warts are shown sneaking back and hiding behind a rock. However, a boy uses his "Worry Wart Detector" to find them. He busts the Worry Warts early and gets rid of them before they can settle in again. There is a bonus page at the very end for children to draw themselves chasing Worry Warts away.
Many ideas in the book are quite complex and most children should read it with the help of an adult. Adult involvement serves to start a useful conversation about excessive worries and a parent, teacher or counsellor can then help solve real worries and encourage a more open and adventurous approach to life.

Like it was written by George Santos
Received an Advanced Reader Copy from a friend. I am an avid true crime reader and upon completion I question if the author is credible. The timeline does not add up for his age and the times of his alleged involvement in organized crime. Some of the things in the book he is alleged to have said and done I remember almost word for word from movies I had previously watched. He literally stole a scene from the movie the accountant with Ben Affleck and said that he did it. I did a little research after completing the book and learned that this author was also claiming in 2010 that he was a long time member of the Bloods Gang. That coupled with the above leads me to believe that it is nothing more than fantasy. Do not waste your time or money

What a difficult story to tell. I appreciate the honesty and vulnerability. Definitely made me think.
I had hopes for this book but was not expecting what I would read within the pages. If your kink is deplorable grammar, incoherent sentences, and inconsistent messages, then this book is for you. At first, I thought the book I received was not the book I ordered. But as I dived in, it was very confusing. I would not recommend this book to anyone
There are not many reviews on the internet for this book. In researching the many stores selling the book, it was self-published which makes a lot of sense. The online description is written perfectly, so reading the actual book was very difficult. Pages two and three are written clearly as well as the table of contents. Pages 155 and 156 are also written logically.
It appears this book was written, then sent through a program like “Grammarly.” Once completed it seems it was published without being re-read or edited. The first clue was the title narrative that used “Has” instead of “As.” The table of contents is one page off from what it shows on pages four though seven. Many of the “q’s” are written as “[]”
Below are some examples of what was within the pages of this book written verbatim:
“Chains & Discipline/ Domination & entry/ Sadism & Masochism (BDSM) is a wide classification of bed room play.” Page 9
“When bringing up the topic of chains, you are actually asking a person to offer you their depend on, their flexibility, and also possibly their suggestion of security in exchange for sensual/sexual enjoyment, power-play, and also feasible re-evaluation of your very own connection.” Page 39
“Techni[]ue can take a selection of kinds and also be as easy or facility as you pick to (new paragraph) bargain for your details scenario” Page 52
“BDSM stands for chains as well as entry, technique and also supremacy as well as sadism and also masochism.” Page 125
“SHELF means Risk Aware Consensual Kink.” Page 130
“Approval is whatever.” Page 152
“your twist isn’t my twist, yet your twist is OKAY.” Page 153
“You can be a top, base, or button” Page 153
