Format:Paperback
After 42 fairly anxiety-free years, I had a monster panic attack (my first!) last March. This book has been a tremendous help. Recommended by my therapist (I had never seen a mental health professional before, either), the book is clear, complete, simple, and helpful. When dealing with something like generalized anxiety and panic, a strong prescriptive approach seems like just the thing. I devoured the book faster than the author recommends, but I'm now going through it again. Like a good novel or film there is a lot more here than you will discover or be able to use on the first pass.
I especially recommend the breathing and relaxation exercises for quick anxiety first aid.

This is a superb self-help book for people with anxiety problems, especially the ones resulting from lack of social skills and low self-esteem. It has helped me a lot, and I still read it over & over for reinforcement.

After buying a very, very expensive self-help program from an infomercial, I discovered this book and found it to be much more helpful and effective. This book has changed just about every aspect of my life, and done so in a way that is so effective that I'm always reminding myself of all the amazing things I can now do without giving them a second thought. I just do them, then realize later that I'm doing things I wouldn't have dreamed of before. Six years ago I couldn't even talk on the telephone because my panic disorder was so overwhelming. With therapy I got to the point where I was "ok," but now, with the help of this book, I'm discovering a whole new world. Everything in this book makes sense. And, boy, does it ever take the pressure off. I can't recommend it enough! And I never would have found it without amazon.com. What a great world this is!

One of the better books on the subject.
This book is definitely worth a read. However, you'll find that the amount of information is a little overwhelming. Read more

I felt this book was excellent!
I have an anxiety disorder, as do millions of others. Unfortunately, there are few books which do a good job giving
self help guidelines for overcoming the disorder. Read more

This program WORKS!!
This book avoids all the hype and moralizing and psychobabble, the useless anecdotes so often found in the "Quick Tips To Anxiety Relief" genre. Read more
