gadrake's review against another edition
4.0
Loaded with illustrative stories, this walks you through typical sources of anxiety and provides non-medical methods for dealing with it. Authors takes the time to differentiate between fear, worry, and anxiety. The stories are almost excessive, but it is clear they are trying to help ordinary people understand the nature of anxiety and how they can adapt their thinking to overcome it. Leans on the work of Jon Kabat-Zinn. Very appropriate for this stress-full society.

There were many good ideas and helpful examples in this book. I think it would be useful in addition to therapy but not sure it would work as a substitute for it. The reader would need to be very diligent in following through on all the exercises.
