Accurate info, well explained

but nothing new here and certainly will not END your anxiety, even the book will say things like manage and accept. It is a huge amount of Cognitive Behavioral Monitoring and massive amounts of work to do on your own. Lot's of recommendations for therapy. Why sell a book that claims to rewire your brain and end anxiety when it doesn't?

Mediate, watch your thoughts, journal, exercise, eat right sound familiar. Good basic advice you can get for free from your auntie or the internet. Explaining the difference between limbic/amygdala anxiety and cortex anxiety, while interesting doesn't really help much. Just my opinion. I truly hope others have success.

not for generalized anxiety disorder

I purchased this book and was extremely disappointed. It only acknowledges anxiety that has a definitive external cause, not the gripping anxiety that arises for no reason that is associated with actual anxiety disorders. They act like it doesn't even exist, as if the only reason people feel anxious is either because they take normal daily worries too far or they have an immediate danger that arouses a fear response. I wish I could get my money back.

Excelent!

I liked this book a lot! Most anxiety books only focus on one type of treatment for anxiety, promoting it as the only way to cure it. This book has a much more ample and better explained and sustained ways to cope with anxiety.

Gave Me Guidance & Direction

I was initially skeptical because I saw in the comments that people said it wasn't meant for those who have generalized anxiety disorder. I found that to be false. I felt like it touched on all different forms of anxiety and gave skills and techniques to best cope with them. There's a lot of good tools to use in this book if you're suffering from any form of anxiety. But most of all, this book gave me a lot of hope.

A Useful Tool for Dealing with Anxiety

Although I found I would have liked a little less scientific discussion, on a whole this book proved quite useful for understanding how the brain manufactures anxiety. Better yet, this book offers useful exercises in measuring your anxiety and dealing with solutions. A most helpful read that provides a better understanding of neuroplasticity and how to make it work in your favor.

Any additional comments?

I found this book well structured, to the point, and helpful.

I loved that the author didn't try to treat anxiety with a cookie-cutter approach, one fits all. When it comes to anxiety, one definitely doesn't fit all.

Through short quizzes, to which you can easily give mental answers while listening to the audio book, the author helps you pinpoint what you are experiencing, names it, and gives you strategies specific to the type of anxiety you might have. I found that knowing the origin of my anxieties, putting a name to them, and knowing at least 2-3 strategies for each, is very helpful.

In fact, I'm about to purchase a book in print, in order to bookmark and reference it.
