How would it feel to approach life with more confidence, and less fear? Discover a new sense of freedom as you work through this expertly crafted workbook, now revised and updated to be even more user friendly.

The second edition has been updated with over a decade's worth of research advances. It includes more detailed instructions for customizing the program, added support for staying motivated, vivid stories that run throughout the book, new separate chapters on relaxation and mindfulness, and downloadable audio recordings.

This book directs readers to read it all the way through once to familiarize themselves with the structure and exercises before actually doing any of the program. I’ve just finished my preparatory read-through, and I think the program will be helpful, though I think the authors may be a bit absolutist about a few things. I’ll see how I feel once I’ve gone through the program in detail, which I suspect will take at least a few months, probably longer. I’ll try to remember to come back and update my review when I’m done.
