Resumen del Editor

Captain Bunn founded SOAR to develop effective methods for dealing with flight anxiety. Therapists who have found this phobia difficult to treat will find everything they need to give their clients success. Anxious flyers who have “tried everything” to no avail can look forward to joining the nearly 10,000 graduates of the SOAR program who now have the whole world open to them as they fly anxiety free wherever they want.

This approach begins by explaining how anxiety, claustrophobia, and panic are caused when noises, motions - or even the thought of flying - trigger excessive stress hormones. Then, to stop this problem, Captain Bunn takes the listener step-by-step through exercises that permanently and automatically control these feelings. He also explains how flying works, why it is safe, and teaches flyers how to strategically plan their flight, choose the right airlines, meet the captain, and so on. Through this program, Captain Bunn has helped thousands overcome their fear of flying. Now his book arms listeners with the information they need to control their anxiety and fly comfortably.

Helpful book on anxiety

Love this book but still surprised that the retakes were not edited out. It shouldn’t be difficult to edit them. Will be great if audible could do it.

Great book, AWFUL narration

Read the book, it's fascinating and has decreased my anxiety 100 fold. But the narration appears to be unedited. For chapter 9, as example, the author clears his throat and re-reads the previous sentence no less than a half dozen times. Poor form, Audible.

Excellent book for dealing with the fear of flight

This book is one of the best I have read and listened to in my entire life when it comes to dealing with not only the fear of flights but fear as a concept in general. The audio issues mentioned in the other comments do exist but are not significant. The book is still very well worth including in your audiobook library

From a Former Fearful-Flyer

After a few seemingly terrifying plane incidents, I became so scared to fly that I would feel sick to my stomach, grip the sides of the seat, and roll myself into a fetal position on the plane, which is very hard to do given the space. I fly about 2-4 times a month and all of that anxiety before and during flights would leave me exhausted!

I’ve been practicing the tips in S.O.A.R. for a few months now and I can say that it helps both up in the air and on the ground. I highly recommend that anxious flyers read/listen to the book and practice the given techniques.

No one edited this book

It’s read by the author and he coughs throughout. Which is kinda funny. I wonder why no one edited it? Still, it’s a great book.

This worked wonders!

I don’t like to fly. I don’t do it often and it makes me anxious to think about. Typically avoid any destiny that requires flying. Booked a trip with my family and researched ways to help with my nerves. Even scheduled an appt with my doctor to see if they would prescribe me something. Ultimately I canceled the appt because I didn’t want to try a medication for the first time while traveling with my kids. Through many internet searches, I came across this book the day before my trip. I started off watching a few of his interviews from YouTube and then quickly bought the book. I am so glad I did. It’s amazing to think that reading this right before my trip had worked so well. While I was still nervous, it was different. I had a whole new perspective about flying. Will I excitedly book more flight in the future? No. But I truly feel like this helped settle my nerves and I will most likely read it again before I go anywhere again! And there are many reviews on how this book even got published with all the times the author clears his throat. I didn’t mind it at all. It was like I was listening to him in person and made it easier to connect. Highly recommended this book! Thank you!

Great resource, but poorly edited

I have read and listened to this book several times to reduce my fear of flying. Dr. Tom does an excellent job narrating, but his editors put out the version with coughs and restarts. It is not too distracting, but unprofessional.

I absolutely loved every second of it!

I can’t believe reading the reviews about the performance almost convinced me not to read this book. In reality, he only clears his throat a few times throughout the entire book and it doesn’t take away from the valuable information he is reading. Please give it a try!

fearful flyer

it works! it's long, and you might want to check out his videos too. but it works 😊

Could not get past throat clearing

I am going to purchase a hard copy because I can not get past the authors throat clearing. It gets so bad that he is restarting sentences multiple times.
Very monotone voice, too.
