  As society shifts its perspective on allyship—moving from being "not racist" to "anti-racist"—White allies are being called upon to work toward changing the status quo. However, the vast majority of resources on this topic emphasize educating allies about anti-racism without teaching them how to do anti-racism work. This leaves well-meaning allies feeling stuck, frustrated, and afraid of getting it wrong. Beyond Fragility fills this gap by providing a step-by-step approach to effective anti-racism allyship. This book provides you with the skills to: 
   
   
   
  ● Understand and avoid common mishaps in anti-racist work, such as misunderstanding racism, not knowing how to recognize racism, or not having a clear anti-racist identity 
   
   
   
  ● Cope with emotions like guilt, fear, hopelessness, and anger that may arise when discussing racism and privilege 
   
   
   
  ● Navigate interpersonal interactions, whether it's validating experiences of BIPOC peers, recovering from a racist misstep, or speaking out against racist comments 
   
   
   
  Anti-racist allyship is not an innate essence. But with this book, you can learn skills that allow you to engage in impactful and sustainable allyship in every space you occupy.

  Are we born with our fears or do we learn them? Why do our fears persist? What purpose does anxiety serve? How common are anxiety disorders, and which treatments are most effective? What's happening in our brain when we feel fear? And what are Colombian worry dolls? 
   
   
   
  This Very Short Introduction draws on the best scientific research to offer a highly accessible explanation of what anxiety is, why it is such a normal and vital part of our emotional life, and the key factors that cause it.

Providing a fascinating illustration of the discussion are two interviews conducted specifically for the book, with the actor, writer, director, and television presenter Michael Palin and former England football manager Graham Taylor. 
   
   
   
  The book covers in detail the six major anxiety disorders: phobias; panic disorder and agoraphobia; social anxiety; generalized anxiety disorder; obsessive compulsive disorder; and post-traumatic stress disorder. With a chapter devoted to each disorder, Daniel and Jason Freeman take you through the symptoms, prevalence, and causes of each one.
