Anxiety Free: Unravel Your Fears Before They Unravel You by Leahy Robert

In Anxiety Free, Robert L. Leahy, Ph.D., best selling author of The Worry Cure, looks at the origin of anxiety and teaches us how to outsmart our fears for a less stressful life. Anxiety is part of our biological heritage. Our ancestors lived in a world filled with life-threatening dangers, and it was in the face of these dangers that the human psyche evolved. Fear was protective, and to survive, our ancestors' minds were programmed rules of reaction were passed through the generations and now keep us in the grip of anxiety. We no longer live in the primitive world that created our fears, but we operate as if we're still running from tigers, fighting starvation, and risking incurable disease. To break free from the tyranny of anxiety, we need to rewrite these preprogrammed rules. In Anxiety Free, Leahy addresses the six recognized anxiety disorders-specific phobia, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder and offers simple step-by-step techniques for confronting and overcoming our specific anxieties. Using Leahy's methods, which are based on the best psychological treatments available, we can work towards a life free from the apprehension, tension, and avoidance associated with anxiety.
