Unlike other travel anxiety books, this one goes directly to changing the body's response rather than appealing to the logical mind. It is a perfect fit for travelers who are having visceral reactions to flight or other stressful situations and gives the listener effective ways to cope with that.

Breathing techniques are given which can be used during any event that might cause anxiety, not just flying.
