Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This book brings us a new understanding of anxiety disorders and depression and shows how we can cure the very cause of these problems not just the symptoms. It takes us on a journey from childhood to adult; through the experiences, thoughts and feelings that can lead to the development of these problems. How they evolve and grow, which disorders develop and why, how we strengthen them and how they become part of us. And then, the answer ... how to turn them around, to evolve and grow through them, beyond them to become stronger and wiser for our experiences ... beyond them to become the unique, worthy individual that it is our birthright to be.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like A Light Shining The Way Out of Emotional Pain, December 16, 2008

By	Jeannette L. Brooks "Arizona Gal" (Payson, AZ, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book really works~ So many books give you exercises to do that treat the symptoms, but don't go to the root of the problem and eradicate it. This book gives you insight to why you do the obsessive compulsions, or have general anxiety, or panic attacks and depression. Then the author tells you what steps to take in order to change your thinking about yourself to the truth, and then gives you the self-talk to change your opinion about yourself. To those who repeatedly hurt you with constant criticism and ridicule when you were a child, you are told that it was their problem, not yours. You are not bad, you are, you have always been a good person. Buy this book. Another good one is Brain Lock, by Jeffrey Schwartz, It goes into a lot of scientific studies, and it gives some good practical steps for change too. Happy reading...

5.0 out of 5 stars Innovative and Correct, September 16, 2009

By	Greg (USA East Coast) - See all my reviews

Based on my personal experiences this unique book's explanation of the cause and cure for anxiety, OCD, and depression is innovative and correct. I am successfully recovering from a forty year long midlevel depression and anxiety disorder and "Evolving Self-confidence" is guiding my way. This book helped me in a manner more effective, more understandable, more relatable, more articulate, and more precise than any of my experiences with other self-help books, psychiatrists, psychologists, university professors, advising loved ones and friends, presentations and workshops, medications and nutritional supplements, or any other source of treatment.

Some people believe that depending on the personality and condition of the reader, one self-help book may be best for some readers while a different book may be better for other readers. If this is the case then I would say "Evolving Self-confidence" is the best book for the largest possible number of people. If, however, this is not the case and one form of treatment can help the majority of people then I would say this book is the best PERIOD. If those suffering from depression, anxiety, and other emotional issues take their condition seriously and they embrace the theories and treatment outlined in "Evolving Self-confidence", this book will greatly improve their lives and possibly change society for the better.

5.0 out of 5 stars A New Twist to Anxiety & Depressive Disorders, May 1, 2009

By	Benson D. Evans "Iluvbooks" (Palm Springs, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Obsessions, fears, depression, anxiety...all almost totally related to the unconscious memories of our past. Although there certainly is a biochemical component this author focuses on our emotional state and its relationship to previous experiences. It has helped me stare those issues in the face and work on the 'now' of my issues.
