This book never bogs down and never distracts - it acts. If you aren't sure about an exercise, don't worry - there will be an alternative just a page away. It reminds me of how you get a cork out of a bottle when it's stuck - yes, keep pushing, but constantly from a different angle. These small, rapid steps can quickly add up. My suggestion: if you feel stuck with your anxiety issues, give this book a try.
