The go-to book for this problem is "The Worry Cure" by Robert Leahy. The book starts out by explaining why many popular methods for fighting worry are actually ineffective or counterproductive - for example, trying to assure yourself that the thing you worry about will most likely not happen. There's a better way, and it is explained through a series of simple exercises in the style of CBT (cognitive behaviour therapy).
