Review: The Real Deal

With the thousands of Self Help books out there these days, I'm always looking for the ones that are based on real experiences, and this definitely delivers! There's no juju advice in here, just a sincere and effective commentary from a guy who really hit the bottom, then took control of his condition and fixed himself. Chris Haynes tried the 'medical' route and describes it in detail; the drugs DO work, but they often have debilitating side-effects. What's the use of feeling 'just OK' if you can't get out of bed in the morning? I recently read a great book about Amino Acids, and people just don't get access to the importance of these little 'adjusters' that can make such a huge difference, especially with our lousy modern diets. Chris bangs the drum for 5-htp and tryptophan, which I've used in the past to good effect (amongst others). Mostly its about shaking off the psychological linkage and treating anxiety as a chemical imbalance which can be corrected with trial and error. An inspiring story which could truly help anyone in a similar situation; Highly Recommended.
