Although this book is very dated, I enjoyed reading it. I especially liked that author suggested we deal with anxiety by focusing on our body reactions rather than on the fear which causes them. There are other parts of this book that deal with depression and agoraphobia, but the author’s approach to those problems also seem down to earth and doable.
I also like the idea the author presented of thoughts being bluffing. Scary thoughts are just that. Often they are worst case scenarios. Our thoughts must be called for that bluffing. What hasn’t happened yet is not reality. It is only a bluff which raises our anxiety level and causes us to panic.
I’m going to try some of the ideas presented in this book and feel that reading it was indeed helpful.… (altro)
