Anxiety - A Book by Sonali Gupta

You Will Be Alright: A Guide to Navigating Grief

Grief is overwhelming, unpredictable and deeply personal. Everyone goes through it, yet we are almost never prepared for it when it comes.

In my second book, You Will Be Alright, I address the silence that surrounds grief and the myths that accompany loss and builds a vocabulary about what we are feeling. The book talks about how grief shows up physically and emotionally and also what the first few days of loss look like. It focuses on practical concerns, such as grieving in a digital age and the challenges around sorting the deceased’s possessions, and topics such as closure, grief integration and more.

You Will Be Alright is intended to serve as an anchor for those dealing with grief and those supporting them. Written from an Indian perspective, this work is deeply informed by the insights that I have gleaned through my years in practice as a psychotherapist.

Anxiety: Overcome It and Live Without Fear

Do you know the difference between anxiety and stress? What can you do when you have a panic attack? How do you know when it's time to get help?

Anxiety is a mental health crisis that has gripped over three crore Indians. In my debut book Anxiety: Overcome It and Live Without Fear, I delve into the condition, using case studies to identify how anxiety can be triggered at work, in relationships, and by social media. I have attempted to share a unique glimpse into this mental health condition in India, especially among Gen Z and millennials.

By recommending strategies and techniques for anxiety-prone readers, this book will help you confront your fears and take control of your life.
