From Booklist
The prevailing therapeutic value of trying to change cognitive thought processes in order to ward off depression and anxiety is not new. However, the approach in this book puts the primary responsibility for making the change on the sufferer of either condition. For those who are uncomfortable with the thought of entering therapy or using medication, the self-coaching work here may be just the ticket to greater freedom from depression and anxiety. (There are a few useful self-tests.) As an alternative to traditional psychiatric options, the self-coaching and "self-talk" prescribed in the book may work to talk oneself out of temporary mild or moderate depression. Sufferers of major clinical depression might want to combine the approach here with therapy or medication. A viable option for the self-help section of library collections. Marlene Chamberlain

A powerful new guide to healing anxiety and depression.

This book introduces the revolutionary concept of self-coaching that will appeal to a very broad market. Nearly everyone has suffered from mild anxiety or depression at some point in his or her life, and a very large percentage of people suffer from clinical anxiety or depression. The effects of these two illnesses can be devastating.
