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.
