Customer Reviews

this book may have saved my life

Ken Strong warns his readers not to be too quick to say, "Hey, that's me!" when just one or two of the symptoms he describes in his book seem to fit the reader. So, I started reading with the true intent of NOT reading too much into it. So, it was even more amazing to me when I found that just about every single symptom listed in this book describes me! I finally could identify my 'problem'. Being an anxious person my initial reaction was...ohmygod, I'm an anxious person, now what?! But, then I had an amazing sense of relief! I now know what needs attention in my life and WHY it is so important to do something/a lot of things to help myself right now. This book gave me so much peace of mind. Thank you Ken Strong for writing a reader-friendly book that may have just saved my life.

I absolutely love this book. It is informative and supportive and very helpful to SO many people. GOOD Job!

Finally some help for those who don't understand

I purchased this book for my husband because I was unable to tell him what I really needed when I was in a panic attack and/or experiencing very high anxiety. This book has been a blessing for me and my family. Now, not only my husband, but other members of my family and my friends now have a better understanding of what I am experiencing and what they can do to help me when I need them. If you are having the same experience, this book is a must have for you. Thank you so much Mr. Strong for writing such a useful, informational book.
