Editorial Review:

The Mindfulness Solution to Anxiety

Drawing on techniques and perspectives from two seemingly different traditions, this second edition of a self-help classic offers you a powerful and profound approach to overcoming anxiety, fear, and panic. From the evidence-based tradition of Western medicine, learn the role your thoughts and emotions play in anxiety. And, from the tradition of meditation and the inquiry into meaning and purpose, discover your own potential for presence and stillness, kindness and compassion--and the tremendous power these states give you to heal and transform your life.

Use this encouraging, step-by-step program to:
· Learn about the mechanism of anxiety and the body's fear system
· Develop a healing mindfulness practice--one breath at a time
· Start on the path to presence, stillness, compassion, and loving kindness
· Practice acceptance during mindfulness meditation
· Feel safe while opening up to fearful and anxious feelings

Comprehensive as well as clearly written, it provides a wealth of information on the use of meditation and mindfulness practice in recover from anxiety difficulties. --Edmund J. Bourne, Ph.D., author of The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook and Coping with Anxiety

Dr. Brantley's book is clear and warm. It takes the mystery out of meditation and explains how things that at first sight appear `ordinary' are in fact very important. His extensive clinical experience and his empathy constantly shine through the book. --Jonathan Davidson, MD, director of the Anxiety and Traumatic Stress Program at Duke University

If you want to get the benefits of mindfulness without having to learn or agree with some of the other principles of Buddhism this is a fine book.

The Raod to Recovery Begin Here!:

This is the Second Edition of this book; one I've been waiting for for a while. I saw the first edition of this book when it was loaned to me by a staffer at a "facility" I found myself in a while back and to say it helped me save my life would be a severe understatement.

Very readable, almost a fun read, were it not... more info
