Leahy, PhD</b>, director of the American Institute for Cognitive Therapy, and author of<i> The Jealousy Cure</i>--Robert L. Leahy, PhD<br><br>"If you are anxious, you know your problem from the inside out--so why use a one-size-fits-all approach if you can instead learn to do what fits your needs? Written by one of the world's leading experts on cognitive behavioral approaches to emotion, this workbook takes some of the most effective skills for addressing anxiety and breaks them down into bite-sized modules that you can learn and use either as an overall package or as stand-alone strategies. Research suggests that these modules--these micro-skills--are highly effective and worth your effort to learn. Highly recommended." <br> --<b>Steven C. Hayes, PhD</b>, Foundation Professor in the department of psychology at the University of Nevada, Reno--Steven C. Hayes, PhD<br><br>"Many self-help books tend to overwhelm readers with endless lists of worksheets to be completed, and suggestions for too many 'homework exercises.' This book is refreshingly different. It helps readers to quickly zero in on the most important issues common to all anxiety problems. Each chapter teaches the reader just a few exercises that were carefully selected based on what the latest scientific research has shown repeatedly to be effective in the treatment of anxiety. Rather than feeling like victims of anxiety, these exercises will empower readers to move with anxiety rather than struggling against it, thus making them feel less like victims of anxiety and more in charge of their lives. If you're looking for a bare-bones workbook to help you deal with anxiety more effectively, this workbook will be perfect for you." <br> --<b>Georg H.
