Format:Mass Market Paperback
I almost cried when I read the first couple of chapters because I thought "Finally! Someone else understands what I'm feeling!" It reassured me that being anxious doesn't mean I'm crazy. Besides giving me hope that I can conquer my panic attacks, it gave me concrete means by which to achieve my goal, step by step. Since the author had experienced panic attacks himself, I felt a bond with him. It was like a friend giving me encouragement and guidance. It also made me feel better about myself, which is one of the steps in overcoming panic attacks. Now I just have to put his advice into practice!

As someone who has suffered from and anxiety and panic attacks badly over the past six months this book and others that i ordered came as a huge relief when they dropped through the letterbox because not only the information and suggestions in them about ways to get over your attackes but more importatly in may case, to read about others suffering exactly the same
symptoms and thereby proving that i was not 'losing my mind' as i was beginning to believe but that panic attacks are simply your mind giving the body false signals and thereby setting off a range of frightening physical reactions.

Handy explains in great detail the physical reasons for why we feel the way we do during an attack and a good portion of the book is given over to relaxation, visualization and meditation techniques to use not only during times of attacks but also as a preventative measure.
If you are suffering and finding answers hard to come by, get this book today, it is well written, informative and if nothing else it will give you the knowledge that you are not alone and that many millions throughout the world are going through this with you every day. This can be cured and this book is a very good start.

This book is amazing. If you suffer with panic attacks and all the nasty things associated with it, you find this book reads like your own biography. The fact that the author has experienced panic attacks, also gives him a lot more authority on the subject. His writing style is excellent, friendly, very personal and to the point. It's like a friend talking to you, someone who knows what you are going through cause he experienced it himself.
I'm only half way and I have a lot of homework to do. His 5 techniques need mastering, and this will take time. Thus, this is not a quick fix solution, this book is not a quick read either as if you are serious enough about beating your demon, then time and putting into practice what he teaches is what is expected from you. It's rather a valuable selection of tools, that if it works ( and I do believe it will as I have felt some improvement already ), would cure you of the daily panic, you make you the master of your subconscious part of your brain, and not the other way round. The boss, as Robert calls it, is the emotional side of your brain, and also the culprit that is causing all the fear and iritional feelings. I can completely agree with that as I do suffer from some severe negative thinking, and some thoughts that would put the fear in any human being, mainly because they are so distressing and out of caracter. Finally, his approach works on various different levels, as you will also be given some advise on diet, an area I clearly can use some tips on. I'm a big coffee drinker and this is a stimulant that affects anxiety in the human body.
All in all this makes sense, and if he cured himself from the depths as a panic attack victim, then so can anyone do the same with his techniques. The best panic attack book I have read and comes highly recommended.

Hits the mark in every area
Robert Handly has been there. He tells it like it is and I appreciate his candor and his compassion. Of all the books about this dibilitating dilemma, his is the best I have read.
