This is a very well recommended book by one of our newsletter subscriber:

"Also a good book to read is Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway by Susan Jeffers - it's all about taking control of your life. It worked wonders for me, but I must admit I was over the worst of my anxiety by then and hadn't had a panic attack for over a year. So I would say buy it, read a bit if you don't think you're ready try again in a few days, weeks or months, but make it a goal to read it. It is a positive book which focusses on now and the future and not the past. "

Based on a course taught at the New School for Social Research, this book offers readers a clear-cut plan for action that, when followed, should help them unlearn their misconceptions about of fear and replace them with attitudes of strength and conviction. By mixing positive thinking with situational exercises that examine basic fear responses, psychologist Jeffers shows that fear is what you make of it and that in most cases it is unfounded.
