First of all, this book could stand a considerable amount of editing. There is a great deal of repetition and there are punctuation errors everywhere (mostly missing commas or periods in place of question marks). Having said that, much of the advice about dealing with anxiety, depression, etc. is good, if inadequately explained at times. Some of the advice, like daring your anxiety to do worse, is questionable; it may work for some, but as I know from personal experience, that technique can lead very far down a dark path. My recommendation: skip this book and get a good book on Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, or better yet, attend workshops on the subject if you can.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. That said, this book is a breath of fresh air - few long words and/or medical-speak (apart from “amygdala” which is explained at length). The author of this book uses simple words and I felt like he was chatting with me across the kitchen table.
What's more, the talented narrator is a bonus. I really enjoyed listening to him as he has a wonderful voice and speaks at a slow and easy-to-understand pace.
There are chapters related to anxiety, panic attacks, fear, agoraphobia, setbacks and other topics. Within various chapters, there is a massive amount of subject matter related to all of those topics, as well as fear of public speaking, belly breathing, nutrition related to nerves, negative thoughts and people, and much more.
The book contains especially good information about the symptoms of anxiety: shivering, TMJ jaw problems, ringing ears, extra sensitivity to noise, and many, many more. I was surprised by the the number of symptoms he described at length.
I got interested when the book mentioned Dr. Roger Callahan, originator of TFT. Unfortunately, it only mentions a special anti-stress “gamut” point on the hand that he used. It did not state that TFT originated when Dr. Callahan solved a panic attack problem by doing several things, one of which was tapping an acupuncture point under the eye. Thanks to Gary Craig, TFT later morphed into a simpler stress-reducing technique called EFT (in which I am certified). I wish there were more about TFT or EFT in this book
The book's subtitle (“A Guide to Freedom from Anxiety, Depression, Panic Attacks and Intrusive Thoughts”) might mislead readers interested in depression - or even make them depressed after finishing the book. While all the subtitle topics are all covered to some extent, there is minimal treatment of “depression,” and no chapter specifically devoted to it, even though “depression” is in the subtitle. However, there is an entire informative chapter on agoraphobia which is not in the subtitle.
In summary, this is a well written and interesting book containing many valuable nuggets of information and is sure to be well received by those suffering from anxiety, panic attacks, fears, phobias and other stressful conditions.

I experienced panic attacks for years, following my doctors advice the attacks became more frequent and more severe, so I reversed everything I was doing and over the next three years the attacks got less severe, less frequent and eventually, they stopped.
Everything I did during those three years is in this book and it's the first book on anxiety and panic attacks I've read that describes what worked for me. I can't say I'm widely read on this topic but I did read a bit in the first two years and nothing I read about helped so I stopped. It's a relief to find a book that offers advice that I know works.
If you're experiencing anxiety and/or panic attacks then this book is a must read.
The narration is clear and well paced, it has a natural rhythm.
I received a free copy of this book from the author and/or narrator and/or publisher and I voluntarily wrote this honest review.

Anxiety-
I enjoyed reading this book because it gave solutions to different types of anxieties people face. It helped me understand that fighting your anxiety gives the anxiety more control and can create more stress on you mentally and physically. It gave me aha moments. Real easy read and not long at all. Finished the book in a couple of hours same day.

Informational and useful
Thought the techniques in this book could be used in many situations regardless of rather you suffered from anxiety or not.
