About this audiobook
Author Robert L. Leahy presents a systematic, accessible self-help guide to gaining control over debilitating anxiety from relationships, health, money and work. Leahy is an expert in changing thought processes, and he walks worriers step-by-step through problems in the way they think, with pointers on how to change these biases. For self-assessment, he provides several questionnaires to take your worry profile, including estimations of your, personal beliefs on self and relationships, and your ability to tolerate uncertainty. The author then outlines a seven-step worry-reduction plan: beginning with identifying productive and unproductive worry, progressing to improving skills for accepting reality, challenging worried thinking and learning to harness unpleasant emotions such as fear or anger.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Short but really rather enjoyable, and useful. Would listen again.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I came across the mention of this book I believe on a health website, the focus of most of my worry issues. There was a simple statement that said life has to be looked at as knowing pain will be there from time to time and we need to accept that. I liked that and that led be to reading the book.First I was worried I would not finish it. No just kidding. It turned out to be a good book to get at the core of what drives our worries about really anything. The doctor then addresses putting things into perspective and rethinking what we think. Simple stuff but quite powerful also. Much of the book addresses this retooling. The conclusion deals with specific worry areas that most people encounter, such as health. On balance a worthwhile and informative read for anyone looking for solutions.
