This autobiographical account, mixed with the author's personal tips for battling O.C.D., is a great, short read that can encourage people that have the disease or people that know someone with it. I have O.C.D., but by the time I read the book, I had long dealt with my fears. For me, it was a good reminder of what I've been through and the strategies that worked the first time. It even helped a little when I was starting to experience problems again. Shannon reveals how many thoughts he struggled with and how painful it can be. Ultimately though, "It'll Be Okay" is optimistic, showing that it's possible to live with O.C.D. and even live without having symptoms every day. I know from personal experience that behavioral therapy works and this book confirms that. I recommend it for people with O.C.D. that are proactive about wanting to get better and to people that want to learn about O.C.D.
