Didn't expect to find great strategies for combating panic attacks. For me it was a God send. Simple techniques teach you to remain calm and ride the anxiety out. I never thought exercise would be so effective. It was for me. No way to go wrong, this is great book. Very useful.
I found this to be good basis for understanding mindfulness meditation, which is what I was looking for. The second half of the book is about Anxiety and contains a lot of good information and practical exercises to help overcome it.
Enjoyed reading this book gave good explanations and ways to combat anxiety. I would recommend this for useful tips to combat negative thoughts and anxiety.
I found this book to be a very good primer. It was my second experience with mindfulness and it answered some questions and clarified some other concepts.
