"Two years ago I couldn't even contemplate walking to the end of my driveway. I just can't recommend this book highly enough. It was the light at the end of my tunnel."

"We have all made mistakes or had unfortunate things happen to us. Some of us let these negative events so overwhelm us that we cannot build our futures. Freeman and DeWolf show us how cognitive therapy can help us break out of the restrictions of the past by correcting
wrong thinking that includes overgeneralization (because
I picked the wrong spouse, I will always make the wrong choice) and perfectionism (because my work was not perfect I am disgraced). It is not easy to break out of
these patterns of wrong thinking, but the authors offer simple and effective ways to do so. This easy-to-read
book provides an excellent example of cognitive therapy
at work."

For "highly worried people," or those who suffer from the "what-if disease," Leahy (president of the International Association of Cognitive Therapy) presents a self-help guide to gaining control over debilitating anxiety. 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.. With numerous examples, Leahy also covers the broad life anxieties that may spark dysfunctional thinking: relationships, health, money and work.
