Ratings and reviews

I'm very happy with this book. It helped me a lot at a very difficult time in my life. Approach it with an open mind: it really works!

I have anxiety about doing certain things but these things make me feel so good yet I get a guilty conscience. Good thing I have a doctor to go to when I could confess my wrongs. Thank you CBT.
