New Dr. Ray Book on Anxiety

Sweaty palms. Racing heart. Nausea. Irrational fears. The sudden urge to flee. Whether anxiety is a minor inconvenience in your life or something more debilitating, you don't have to remain trapped by it.

Of all the emotions that ripple through daily living -- anger, joy, frustration, sadness, happiness, worry -- only anxiety is hardwired for our long-term survival. Ever ready to surge, it can leap from healthy protector to relentless invader without warning, attaching itself to places, people, and almost anything else the mind seizes upon.

The good news? Anxiety is by no means unbeatable. With his trademark humor and rare gift for common sense, popular psychologist Dr. Ray Guarendi will walk you through exactly what anxiety is, why it happens, and how to defeat it for good.

Drawing from his decades of research and clinical experience, Dr. Ray gives you practical tools you can use starting today. Among much else, you will learn:

• How to silence social anxiety and fret-filled thinking
• The simple trick to easing a panic attack fast
• Three things you must stop doing when anxiety strikes
• Four ways to shorten a full-blown panic attack
• Practical steps for overcoming phobias -- yes, even the fear of long words
• The surprising impulse that helps you overcome anxiety
• How to turn anxiety into a powerful motivator

Stop allowing anxiety to steal your peace. Making straightforward changes in your thinking and behavior will loosen anxiety's grip -- and sooner than you expect. This book explains it all and will set you free.
