I picked this up on a whim when it was at 99 cents, and was astonished to find that it recalled two strange episodes in my own life. When I was a young mother of two small children - stressed out of my mind because one of my sons was premature - I suffered two attacks similar to the ones described by Chris Haynes before his "big" one. In my case, I blacked out and had no memory whatsoever of what happened while I was "out". Luckily for me, I realized that I had been overwhelmed by pressure from my parents: the first time my mother and the second, my father. I guess for me it was psychological dissonance. The blackouts were my mind's way of protecting me from their "onslaught". I made sure never to put myself in the position where this could happen again and it never did. Chris was obviously not so lucky. For those suffering as he has done, this book could be a life-changer and I would certainly try out what has worked for him if I was still subject to anxiety and panic attacks, especially as he has managed to live for the most part without prescription medication.
