Dare: The New Way to End Anxiety and Stop Panic Attacks Fast by Barry McDonagh
5.0
I wish I had read this book before.
What a wonderful book to start the year.
Context:
I have struggled with situational and occasionally general anxiety since I can remember.
Normally it shows up while at the wheel, in some social situations, and high rises.
But, lately, it has been expanding towards more and more areas of my life, which brought me to take action.
The steps of this book (Defuse, Allow, Run Toward, Engage) are straightforward, yet powerful.
Especially the third part, Run Toward, which is about inviting more of it, defies any logic on any previous approach you might have considered before, normally focused on ''management'' of the symptoms.
The system is partially based on ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), which I was already (very) familiar with.
I normally don't spend time writing reviews, but I wanted to spread the word in case other people might benefit from reading it.
