This book falls more under the genre of a guide or overview book. It comes with a number of different strategies and techniques for dealing with anxiety. However this does not mean that there isn't substance to this book, in fact quite the contrary.For example under the diet headline is a number of food types that can increase anxiety that you may wish to avoid. Under the relaxation headline are a number of techniques including breathing, muscle tension and release and sphere of light imagery.The techniques under CBT are quite literally 'thinking' your way through stress. The advice in each section seems do-able for the average person and easily understandable.The advice in this book contains strategies on:DietStress ManagementRelaxation techniquesCBT or congnitive behavioural therapyand also dealing with different types of anxiety.It comes across quite strongly that the author is speaking from personal experience with anxiety management and I liked his drug free approach.It was an enjoyable read, quite insightful and well written.
