5.0 out of 5 stars A warm, caring, and inspiring book, July 17, 1999

By A Customer

This is a lovely and inspiring book--it's not like any other book I've ever read on this subject. Mani Feniger is a therapist, but this is not a clinical take on phobias. She has also struggled with anxiety and fears, and she writes with a personal, caring voice. Her own story, and the stories shared by others, make you feel that it is really possible to get free and move on with your life.

5.0 out of 5 stars This extraordinary book has changed my life., October 27, 1998

By A Customer

This is a must read for anyone who has lived with panic/phobic disorders. My life was unmanageable until I gained the insight of the author who has had her own struggles with these disorders. Perhaps that is what makes this book so helpful. The examples of people living with these disorders were familiar and reassuring. This book has helped motivate me to keep working on this stuff. I know now, I can do it!

5.0 out of 5 stars It's fixable - just invest a little time!, April 26, 2001

By A Customer

I found this book really helpful and would have no hesitation in recommending it to anybody who is looking for drug-free way of overcoming panic and phobias. I read this book while attending a Counsellor at regular intervals. People tell their stories in the book - all of which are success stories. I found that I could really relate to some of the problems they had experienced. It made me feel that I wasn't so different after all and it really gave me great hope and encouragement. Well worth a read - it shall certainly lift your spirits!
