I wish this book were back in print again. It is better than "Tapping the Healer Within", in that it is written in a much more clear and concise manner (although he does wander a bit and get repetitive at times). He discusses "fear of success" in some detail, and what he thinks it really consists of. There is a shortcut guide in the back for using the method, with pictures.

This is the same as "The Five-Minute Phobia Cure" with an extra chapter addressing Public Speaking and Cold-Calling specifically, and some minor re-working of some of the chapters.

"Five-Minute" also has the shortcut guide. The list of phobias in the book is interesting, and he suggests the same treatment for all of them.

Well worth borrowing from your local library, or getting through interlibrary loan, especially if you found "Tapping" difficult to wade through--I did. This book was much easier to understand. I do, however, think the used prices are 'way on the high side.

Some authors with later books just rehash the same (in this case good) concept over and over, without adding anything significant. This earlier book is better.

4.5 stars.

Dr. Callahan has other books in which he also outlines the technique given in this book. But, in this book, the technique is fully given and in more detail and easier to understand. With the info he gives you, anyone can do this with great results even just reading along out of the book as you go. If you are interested in this type of work, this book is a classic! It really does work and releases phobias immediately in just a 20 minute session. This technique changed the whole direction of my life by instantly removing phobias that were holding me back from what I needed to do. [...]

The company this was ordered from (via Amazon) sent me the wrong book. They have issued me a refund for the incorrect book. However, I requested that they send me the correct book that I originally ordered along with a bill, and this has not yet been accomplished. So, I have never received "Five Minute Phobia Cure".
