Review: This book simply makes sense and never insults or diminishes the experiences of people who suffer from these issues.

I'll freely admit to not normally being a true believer or fan of the self help genre, but this book really stood out to me as first an interesting topic and later as simply education in truth.Steve Norton is a psychotherapist and anxiety specialist from the UK whose training and believe system leads him to believe and teach that we control our thoughts, that we have a power greater than we know to overcome obstacles, fears, and phobias. This goes away beyond the simple power of positive thinking and explains and teaches us in a no nonsense way the truth of our abilities.This is one of the most thought provoking books that I've read in a long while, As a person suffering from some of the issues that Norton discusses I can honestly say that I see the value in what he is teaching, and I can see how I limit myself in a lot of scenarios. What is very important to note is that Norton never discounts the readers emotions or experiences, yet endeavors to simply show us a different perspective and picture a different possibility.We all want to live a happy and well adjusted life. We want to overcome our fears, we want to realize our potential and Norton really will make your eyes open a little wider and leave you feeling like you've just been shown something that was just out of your reach for a long time.
