About this title: Here is the first book to explore every facet of the most common and debilitating emotional state: worry. While a healthy level of worry can help us perform efficiently at work, anticipate dangers, and learn from past errors, in its extreme forms worry can become "toxic"--poisoning our pleasures, sabotaging our achievements, and preventing us from resolving actual problems. In this lucid, reassuring book, Dr. Hallowell discusses all types of worry, explores their underlying causes, and considers the best strategies for coping. Case histories and anecdotes illuminate such issues as worry in ...

"What a waste of time and effort is worry. Dr. Hallowell's book does a great job of putting worry into perspective and also offers valuable tools to overcoming this wasteful habit."
"Every so often I find myself becoming a Book Evangelist, where I will tell anyone who will listen about "this great book I just read." Worry is one of those books. Hallowell guides the reader through different types of anxiety and worry, incorporating larger discussions of therapy types, brain chemistry, theory, and history around each case study. What work best though is that this isn't just another "self-help" book that diagnoses the problem but offers no solutions. The last third to half of the book is dedicated to ways to manage worry and anxiety.
What was most helpful to me was learning that worry and anxiety are partially learned behaviors but that they are also biochemical. Understanding that my worries and anxieties are not a moral failure and that I am no a weak person because I tend towards toxic worry, was worth 10 therapy sessions with a licensed therapist.
If you worry, or think you might worry to much, or know someone who does, get this book. I promise that you will come out of it changed for the better."
"the best book about anxiety i've read so far. compassionate writing and approach with simple guidelines and suggestions. not life altering - but very supportive."
"I was hoping for some new or different ideas about controlling worry/anxiety in this book, but it was mostly reminders of all the stuff I already know, but am terrible at implementing day by day in my life.
However, he did have some good reminders of the importance of faith in God and daily/constant prayer AND good analogies to help me remember what I can and can't control in my life and how to notice when I'm starting to stress over what I can't control."
