5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a must for anyone suffering from anxiety, 1 Mar 2002

By	Susan Bone (boneysjoint@aol.com) (Essex, England) - See all my reviews

Having suffered for many years from anxiety and thinking it was quite "normal" to feel that way, this book was a revelation. It is very easy to understand, it explains in a most simple way the reasons anxiety is such a problem for some people and not for others. In a step by step form it takes the reader through a process of self help and self understanding. One of the benefits is you can work at your own speed, you can work alone or enlist help from family or friends. It has passages from fellow anxiety sufferers, which makes the reader realise they are not alone with their problems. Having worked through this book and its Cognitive Behavioral approach myself, I found its contents most enlightening and it certainly helped me to work though and overcome my problems. I highly recommend this book for anyone suffering from anxiety.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good in Parts, 29 Sep 2004

By A Customer

This book offers perhaps the best description of what anxiety is and how it effects us that I have ever read. It is extrememly good for gathering information on anxiety then. However, it is much less good when it comes to the techniques for actually overcoming the anxiety. For example the section on Challenging Worrying Thoughts does not list enough 'cognitive distortions'. It alludes to 'Jumping to Conclusions' without explaining it properly. The section on Distraction is not completely clear either. I am glad i read it for information, but will look elsewhere for techniques for overcoming anxiety. The worksheets are also not as convenient as those in other cognitive therapy books.

2.0 out of 5 stars Ok, 25 Jul 2008

By	J. Tomaas (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews

Very good at describing anxiety, but waffle when it came to dealing with anxiety; overcomplicated, time consuming and I felt inadequate to help me...
