The Trend seems to be Recycled::
Part of my work is to read "self-help" type "brain/psychology" books and what I'm finding is that the trend seems to be recycled from Maslow's Humanistic Psychology, from his 1954 book Motivation and Personality, which was first recycled by Seligman in Learned Optimism around'98 with this same Positive Psychology that Maslow began.

Great for anxiety in general but not much help for specific anxiety disorders:
Like the title says its great if you want to look at your anxiety in general but its not for a specific anxiety disorder
Very Very Helpful:
This is a very good book. It gives you everything you need to know and do in 10 easy steps. I have read many books on anxiety and all the advice boils down to what is written in this book. I believe it to be the most valuable book that I have gotten on anxiety so far. It does not replace what one on one therapy provides because people with anxiety always want to know how they got their problems to begin with. Once that is answered with the aid of a therapist, this book will help you on the road to recovery.
Initial review is good...:
I haven't finished reading this yet, but overall my first impression is good. It is straight forward and quick to read through. Recommend for anyone working through anxiety issues or helping someone else work through them.
