This is a very nice book with a series of techniques for overcoming anxiety. Itbegans by telling you what anxiety is, what kinds there are and some tests to help you gauge if you are suffering from it or not. And then it goes to show you the 10 anxiety techniques:
*Related to the anxious body, as the author has put it:
- change your intake: so, basically, how you see the world and how you let it affect you
- breathe: some breathing exercises to help you mitigate anxious effects
- mindfulness: some relaxation techniques. TBH, I have a very hard time with it. I am so wired up I can't.
- relax: basically, allowing yourself some disconection times from work and such, so you can recharge and get back.

As far as today (March, 21st) this is as far as I've gotten with the lecture. I have to say that at least the part about managing the anxious body is more easily said than done, but is a good help. I guess it also depends on how high or not are your levels of anxiety, because ig they are high all of this can help you get more anxious (this kinda books do for me, as I want to read it all and digest it and then I find myself stressing more, but this is just me).

* Related to the anxious mind, as the author has put it:
- stop catastrophizing:
- stop anxious thoughts
- contain your worry
- talk yourself into changing behaviour

And finally:
- to implant a plan and practice.

War ganz in Ordnung - habe nicht so viel Neues gelernt, aber für Menschen, die sich noch nicht so viel mit dem Thema beschäftigt haben, könnte es hilfreich sein

I found it to be a pretty dry Lecture to be honest. I also didn't get that much use out of the Tips in the Book. As someone who has done several Therapies already, hardly anything in this Book was new to me.
