[Chad Brown · Rating 5 out of 5]

The first part of this book is a clinical presentation of anxiety/depression that provides basic information in a clear and understandable manner. If you know about the subjects then there will not be anything immediately fresh or new to you, but what I liked about the book are the actionable exercises presented in the last 3 chapters. In the last few chapters there are actual meditative exercises you can follow along with via audio, to calm your anxiety and hopefully lessen your depression.

The book does touch on hypnotherapy which I'm highly skeptical about and would have appreciated more hard data on it as in it's actual veracity/success-rates, but that's not exactly what this book purports to be about.
