Offers plenty of tips and stories for readers chasing relief from anxiety issues. I wouldn't call it a 'worry trick,' but I am glad the author included worry, doubt, insecurity, fear and other life-affecting thought issues. Readers who have lived with the disorder likely have read dozens of books on the subject, each looking for the one elusive key to let them stomp down the disorder and live freely. There's plenty to turn over in your mind from this book, lots to discuss with a worry-minded friend or therapist. Bring a journal with you through this book. You'll find some nice gems of inspiration.

Many individuals suffer from anxiety but are uncomfortable in the options provided by professionals and doctors such as therapy and medication. Although these are great options, they simply are not for everyone. I love that this book offers funny and interesting tips on how to help individuals cope with anxiety. With some modification for understanding, these tips can even be used with children.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this ARC. It provided great learning opportunities!

Thank you NetGalley and New Harbinger Publications for the eARC.
I have suffered from panic disorder for years, still going through therapy and on medication most of that time.
This was a good manual with excellent tips. The belly breathing is very helpful as is the acceptance of the horrible fear and riding through it. Riding through it is difficult and I do need more practice. That said, it's heartening to know so many others are out there, it makes one feel less alone and every tip to help us through the experience helps. I'm grateful there are authors like David Carbonell who take the time and effort to try and alleviate the suffering of so many of us. My goal is to get off the medication and. I'm hopeful, and thankful for books such as these that make me see an end in sight. Thank you! Highly recommended.
