Very helpful!

This book gave me the boost to get real help. It made me want it more than ever. I have always had trouble accepting help or even accepting I have severe anxiety. Now I wanna kick its ass. So grateful I read this book! Thank you so much.

Self Help with no BS

Robert Duff does a great job of cutting through the self help anxiety BS and provides some quick and simple strategies for dealing with anxiety. I recommend this to anyone looking for some practical tips to long term sufferers.

So very Helpful

I am really in a terrible place mentally. Struggling to face anything from the time I get out of bed. Professionally my work is relatively isolated so it is ok but this book will start me on a journey. I needed somewhere to start and thank you Robert for being human.

Fast, condensed and accessible

Highly recommend. Follows best practice just condensed to the core practical principles and presented in a relatable manner. I really enjoyed each chapter and get the feeling this will be a book I keep coming back to when I need a reminder or some inspiration.

Good information well delivered, but lacking depth

I have mixed feeling about this audio book. On the plus side its conversationalist style is easy to listen to and engaging. As well, some of the things covered are very useful, such as CBT, 4-7-8 breathing (pranayama relaxation breath), and the letter to write to someone who doesn't understand anxiety. But I found these topics were not given any depth, and as such are really just a primer on things to try to help deal with anxiety. The 4-7-8 breath for example, was 'dumbed down'. Suggest the listener search for "pranayama breathing" for more detailed information. I wanted the CBT section to go into more depth and practice as well.

Overall, it is a good book only to introduce the listener to some techniques for addressing anxiety, but it falls short due to a lack of depth in any area. But then, it is only an hour and a half in length, so I guess it did meet my expectations somewhat.

Straight to the point , highly recommended.

This is definitely a book worth looking into. If your not sure if you even have anxiety at least this read gets to the idea of what it's about and to understanding it..

Fantastic / No Nonsense / HIGHLY RECCOMEND

First of all this book is short, not to say that is a bad thing but in-fact its great for that reason its super approachable and something you can revisit over and over. The way Robert thinks and speaks about issues regarding anxiety in an extremely empathetic voice and manages to cut through all that noise and make you feel human by listening.

Would recommend this book to anyone having issues or even if you know someone who is having issues.
