As a self-help-books-connoisseur and a psychology-books-enjoyer—I've read a lot of them—this is perhaps the greatest book of all time. It has this serene focus and clarity that I've never seen in any other book, perhaps in the whole of non-fiction.

I finally feel understood. I am glad that I found something that represents my thoughts and I am quite positive about the fact that this will benefit me a lot if I won't get lazy so fingers crossed. But I have to say that at the end of the book I felt a bit worse that when I only read about 25 %.

Great, simple book for anyone with intrusive anxious thoughts. I recommend to self-help lovers and those in the mental health field.
A big criticism however is the way the author suggests that intrusive thoughts are indicative of OCD. Although that is a criteria of OCD, rumination and worry can also be seen in GAD and PTSD, and in milder forms, are a part of being human.

I feel guilty knocking off a star, but I found the "wise voice" stuff soooo cheesy. This was an otherwise helpful book to me, though. Brought up the ways I've been needing reassurance in many other aspects of my life besides physical health (hypochondria being the reason I read the book). Here's hoping I can learn to live with uncertainty...
