Product Description
Review
"By far the most sophisticated and engaging guide I have seen on mindfulness and anxiety. This book is a gem. Two of the field’s most knowledgeable and creative experts skillfully take you on a journey into the hidden corners of your anxious mind. With a seamless blend of interesting stories, state-of-the-art research, and exercises, this book leads you step by step toward a fuller, more meaningful life. It is an excellent resource for anyone who seeks a path to freedom from anxiety and stress." - Christopher K. Germer, PhD, author of The Mindful Path to Self-Compassion
"In the Alice in Wonderland world of emotions, anxiety is the Red Queen - always a future threat and sometimes a present danger. This superb book shows how mindfulness can help ease the ravages of anxiety. Nobody knows more about this topic than Drs. Orsillo and Roemer, and their approach will be a godsend for many." - David H. Barlow, Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry, Boston University, and Founder and Director Emeritus, Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders, USA
Product Description
Winner of the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies (ABCT) Self-Help Seal of Merit!
Anxiety constrains the lives of millions, leaving sufferers exhausted, stressed, and overwhelmed. And the things most people do to try to feel better – avoiding feared situations, pushing worry out of mind – only make the problem worse. Leading psychologists Susan M. Orsillo and Lizabeth Roemer provide a powerful new alternative: they help readers fundamentally change their relationship to anxiety. This book’s clinically tested mindfulness practices are specifically tailored for anxiety in its many forms. With clarity and compassion, the authors describe how to gain awareness of anxious feelings without letting them escalate; reap the benefits for emotional and physical well-being; and open life to inspiring new possibilities. Loads of stories, self-quizzes, and step-by-step exercises all enhance the user friendliness of this expertly crafted approach.

Format:Paperback
This is the best book about anxiety that I've read so far. People who have experience with anxiety are sure familiar with the situations described in it, and most important, will find fresh and helpful ways to deal with it. They'll be able to analyze their emotions and discover why we hold on to our anxieties and fears despite wanting to get rid of them. It's a very eye-opening read, clearly written, which will let you start to change immediately.

A Great Resource for Anyone Who Struggles with Anxiety
16 Mar 2011
Format:Paperback
Most of us suffer from anxiety to some degree. We instinctively try to wish it away, avoid it, or fight it head-on -- strategies which only make matters worse. In this compelling, well-structured book, Drs, Orsillo and Roemer offer readers the very latest, scientifically-grounded, understanding of anxiety and how to deal with it. The practice of turning safely and compassionately toward one's own fears is at first confusing, but ultimately profoundly liberating. They describe this paradoxical process very simply and clearly, in a way anyone can use. As a clinical psychologist who works extensively with anxiety problems, I recommend this book enthusiastically. Readers can also visit the authors' website for their excellent, free, meditation downloads: [...]

Useful resource for clients and therapists
19 Mar 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
As a therapist learning to use mindfulness- and acceptance-based behavioral therapies, I find this book to be an extremely useful resource for my clients, and personally. It is a helpful way for clients to read and reflect on topics discussed in treatment. It is also a fantastic reminder for myself as therapist, in terms of incorporating these principles into my own life. Thank you!

Useful and thorough
17 Aug 2011
Format:Paperback
This is a good, solid, useful book on mindfulness as therapy, and I recommend it for the person who suffers from anxiety--indeed, it could change your life. The only problem I had with it is that it is full of those "case-studies" (imaginary people used to demonstrate the principles of the book) which, to my mind, make the book almost unreadable. There is some character on almost every page.
Of course, some people must like this, or they wouldn't write like this. Just a matter of taste, I guess. But if you don't and you'd like to read about mindfulness as therapy, you might try the brilliant "The Mindful Way Through Depression"(which has a few case-studies but not nearly so many) or anything by Jon Kabat-Zinn. However, these books don't deal exclusively with anxiety.
