If you are reading this review, and you have anxiety, GET THIS BOOK AND READ IT. No, really, I'm dead serious. It has changed my life.

This is a great book! I have had social anxiety for many years, and from reading this, and volunteering at our local library, spending most of my time at the front desk, I have seen significant improvement. I picked this book up from the library shelf after having an anxiety attack which left me in tears. That was my wake up call. As I caught my breath and dried my tears in the break room, I decided that I had had enough. I went to the shelf where I knew this book was, checked it out to myself, and vowed to read it. It took a couple of renewals, but I got through it, and I am amazed at the results.

If the author of this book is reading this, THANK YOU! I don't know you, I have never met you, but you are AMAZING! I bow to you in humble respect, I can't tell you how happy this book has made me. I had resigned myself to staying the same anxious person I have been for most of my life, for the rest of my life. I can't believe how different my life is now. I never thought I'd feel this happy or free.

Thank you.
