A gift for friends, loved ones and patients

This is the best and most practical book I've ever read about anxiety. By page 3 it gave me several new, useful, insights about myself, loved ones and patients I see every day. As a non-psychiatrist, but practicing physician, my understanding of anxiety disorders was improved instantly, and in plain English.
