Excellent on ALL Levels

This is a beautifully written book that could be used by many authors as an effective blueprint for how to write a book. Unlike so many books that seem to drone on and on, this book is short and to the point and provides the reader all the information they need, but no more, making it a pleasure to read. The book is not just for people who worry. It is a must read for anyone that suffers from excessive stress or anxiety. This is not your typical useless "self-help" book that promises that reading it will reveal secrets that will give you an easy fix. Rather, it empowers the reader with useful knowledge and concrete examples and tools for how to learn to think and behave in ways which can result in a life free of excessive worry and stress. And as the book will teach you, this can very much be learned. The book uses a two pronged approach: 1. Each chapter explains a concept regarding how we think or behave and how that thinking or behaving impacts worry and anxiety. Each is beautifully explained and as soon as I would have a question it was as if the authors anticipated it and answered it. I never found their handling of a subject to be less than crystal clear. 2. Each chapter than concludes with real world exercises and tools to help successfully understand the type of thinking and behaving addressed in the chapter, and gives insight into how to change them in a way that results in a happier life. I'm normally a skeptic when it comes to most self-help books, but I can't recommend this book highly enough. It's a rare little gem.

very good resource

This is a really good book for those experiencing anxiety or as a book for bibliotherapy for clients with anxiety.

Accessible and effective!

I would reccommend this book to everyone I know. It takes the 'worry' out of worry by describing our innermost fears, showing us that others share them, and then outlining practical ways to deal with them.

Highly Recommended!

I found the book to be very informative and full of practical, easy-to-learn strategies to handle a very serious problem. The authors teach you how to deal with anxiety and worry in everyday situations. It is an excellent guide that would be helpful for anyone struggling with chronic worry. I highly recommend this book!

Incredibly Helpful

It provides sound, yet clear to understand advice on how to gain control over an issue that plagues so many people.
