This book is superb. It is the best book on Anxiety that I have read. I have suffered from OCD, depression and anxiety my whole life, and this book taught me more then I learned with most of the therapists. If you are suffering, BUY THIS BOOK, and work on it. You will find advice & relief and hope :)

I agree completely with everybody about the value of this book. The author is so smart, and such a good writer, I get the feeling he could have done anything he wanted, and I feel great gratitude that he has chosen to devote his talents to helping some of the most suffering people in the world. After all, emotional suffering can be much worse than physical suffering, IMHO.

The point I feel I need to add is that this book is not just for those who have panic attacks or phobias, its for anybody who feels that fear has too much control over them, and for anybody who is more than mildly shy. Shyness that holds you back and makes you feel like you're not getting everything you could out of life is an anxiety disorder, and if you have that kind of shyness you should read this book.

bourne has produced an excellent resource for the person suffering from anxiety or phobias. based on (usually) well conducted research, he offers the person suffering, as well as friends and loved ones, with practical information and exercises to help them overcome psychologically-based anxiety (as opposed to biological or side effects of medicines). this is an excellent workbook. it is written in an easily understood, motivating, encouraging manner - essential for those incapacitated by anxiety! it really helps folks to know that they're not alone, that they are understood and can relate. i have loaned this book to about half a dozen patients and everyone has asked if they can purchase a copy of it for ongoing reference! this is one of those rare books that i would say is worth more than the sale price.

I have suffered from panic attacks, but through this book it has helped me pin point my problems and has given me logical things to help me get through them. My counselor has read it and recomends it to anyone suffering from panic attacks or anxiety. Give it a try it will only help.

This book was first introduced to me by by therapist, and I am so grateful!! It isn't just reading material, it has step by step instructions and exercises to follow. This book won't take the place of a therapist or counselor, but it can definately be a BIG help when used at home. If you are serious about getting over your anxieties and phobias, you should look into buying this book. It has truly truly helped me :)

This book is great for both practitioners and those suffering from an anxiety disorder. It gives a nice overview of the etiology of different types of anxiety disorders as well as how to determine which one you or your client may have. The author also discusses many techniques which have been demonstrated to be quite effective for alleviating anxiety. The reader is shown how to develop his or her own anxiety-management program taking a wholistic approach, including diet, exercise, time management, etc. Overall, a great resource!

Once I recognized I had a problem, this book gave me direction to begin reaching a solution. It gives different options to fit different people's needs.

Universally acclaimed book. Non-controversial and a must for suffers of anxiety/panic attacks and phobias.

This is a very good book for those feeling the anxiety of simple social situations on up to dealing with moderate panic. It's helped me to realize some major things that have helped to shape me and keep me an anxious person.

I ordered this book and it came in a timely manner and was in good condition.
Overall very satisfied.
