copies to family and friends
23 Feb 2006
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have had a copy for many years and have given copies to a grandchild and one child, since anxiety can be inherited (my father had it, and we also have hypoglycemia). I have also given the order forms in the back to friends. I first became aware of panic attacks as an eight year old, but I wasn't diagnosed until I was in my forties, and only after many counseling sessions for panic which didn't help. I found this book and it meant the end of Xanax for me. One doesn't have to read it all at once. The first things to learn are distraction and breathing exercises. Then move on to magnification and other thought control processes.

a great step-by-step practical solution
27 Feb 2005
Format:Paperback
I have just started using this book and it is such a relief. It is immensely practical and effective.
This is a newer edition; for more rave reviews from people who have been through the whole program, check out the older edition:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/customer-reviews/0446670537/
(The link will be slow because it has to rebuild "your" view, but just give it time).
If you really want to get better, if you're ready to do whatever it takes (because it does take hard work!), then this book can really help you take those steps. It's one of the few that are genuinely about "self-help" - how to gain internal strength and heal yourself. Good luck!

For the anxious and frustrated.. a book that understands
28 Aug 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I first read this book in New Zealand.. and soon became hooked. Mainly as I suffer from anxiety and depression. I found it insiteful and cathartic. It helped me to understand more fully my idiosyncracies and attitudes, and gave me more peace of mind. It offers good advice on how to help combat these debilitating conditions and gain your life back. I would highly recommend it to anyone who suffers from these conditions, or lives with anyone who has them, to better understand what feelings are involved, and that no one ever chooses to suffer; for many reasons, it is simply how our brain reacts to difficult situations, and no one is to blame. An empathetic, yet highly practical book.
