Customer Reviews

Excellent resource

The great thing about this book is that it isn't trying to promote any single approach to dealing with anxiety. The information is well presented, easy to understand, and is written with the understanding and compassion of one who's been there. It covers a multitude of techniques and is very helpful. I bought two copies, one to keep, and one to loan out to other people. I have a Master's degree in Counseling, and in my opinion, this book is one of the best on the topic.

It's fixable - just invest a little time!

I found this book really helpful and would have no hesitation in recommending it to anybody who is looking for drug-free way of overcoming panic and phobias. I read this book while attending a Counsellor at regular intervals. People tell their stories in the book - all of which are success stories. I found that I could really relate to some of the problems they had experienced. It made me feel that I wasn't so different after all and it really gave me great hope and encouragement. Well worth a read - it shall certainly lift your spirits!

A warm, caring, and inspiring book

This is a lovely and inspiring book--it's not like any other book I've ever read on this subject. Mani Feniger is a therapist, but this is not a clinical take on phobias. She has also struggled with anxiety and fears, and she writes with a personal, caring voice. Her own story, and the stories shared by others, make you feel that it is really possible to get free and move on with your life.

This extraordinary book has changed my life.

This is a must read for anyone who has lived with panic/phobic disorders. My life was unmanageable until I gained the insight of the author who has had her own struggles with these disorders. Perhaps that is what makes this book so helpful. The examples of people living with these disorders were familiar and reassuring. This book has helped motivate me to keep working on this stuff. I know now, I can do it!
