Publisher's summary

There's a new and faster way of anxiety relief, but few have ever heard it. Most people are advised to either just "manage" their anxiety or medicate it away.

If you're tired of just managing your anxiety and want a powerful natural solution, then apply the DARE technique, as explained in Barry McDonagh's latest book.

Based on hard science and over 10 years of helping people who suffer from anxiety, Barry McDonagh shares his most effective technique in this new book. The DARE technique can be used by everyone, regardless of age or background, to live lives free from anxiety or panic attacks.

In this step-by-step guide, you will discover how to:

  • Stop panic attacks and end feelings of general anxiety
  • Face any anxious situation you've been avoiding (driving, flying, shopping, etc.)
  • Put an end to anxious or intrusive thoughts
  • Use the correct natural supplements to relieve anxiety
  • Boost your confidence and feel like your old self again
  • Fall asleep faster and with less anxiety each night
  • Live a more bold and adventurous life again

This works

Where does Dare rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is one of the best books on a new approach to anxiety and it is the only one that worked for me.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Dare?

I had really given up on getting better with my panic attacks and resigned myself to just live in my small world as best as I could. I met a woman who had a different approach to anxiety, she had me get Reid Wilson's book and I found Dare after that. They are giving the same new way and it WORKS! Dare makes it simple and easy to understand. It is not easy but it is simple. Once you stop fighting to get away from your anxious thoughts and make the inner shift to run towards them, they lose their power. For me Defuse and Run towards D and R of DARE were what I was missing. I could white knuckle my way thru any exposure but never got better, and I got Claire Weeke's message to allow years before. But I would argue with myself the whole time I did exposures. Defuse from the thoughts baby Allow the symptoms, Run towards the anxious thoughts or Request more anxiety and Engage in what is happening at that moment. And keep doing it. I can do things that used to freak me out and don't get panic attacks now, I even enjoy them again. I am not cured, and still have a ways to go to be grateful for my anxiety but I see I could be grateful for it. I have my DARE bracelet to always remind me what to do when start slipping back into my old stinking thinking and the Facebook page is great too.

A Must for everyone with Anxiety

I am a mindfulness practitioner and yet got into a cycle of very intense anxiety after a burn out from some big life challenges and transitions. This method really puts mindfulness into practice in a way that is so easy. It made me realize I wasnt fully applying what I needed. it works! For me right away. For some it may take longer if all of this is new to you so be patient with your own journey. And it is a continuous process. I continue to apply the Dare method daily and it has use beyond anxiety. its really for all doubt, worries and fears.

Very helpful

This book helped me a lot with my anxiety and anxiety related problems. I found that it is written in a way that is very easy to read/ listen to especially when I had high levels of anxiety. When you experience anxiety it's even harder to focus but when I listened to this as an audiobook I find that out was very helpful to understand things that are not easy for the rational mind to understand during anxiety. Also, it has very direct and practical advices that one can follow immediately and it is accompanied by a free app with guided exercises that was helpful as well. Good luck with your Anxiety problems - you will eventually overcome them for sure.

Life Changing

Downloaded this book because I had an 18 day vacation over seas coming up which consisted of 7 flights. I always associated my panic with being outside of my safe place and places where I’m trapped to be alone with my thoughts; such as planes. The fear of this upcoming trip prompted me to search for a self help book and I am so thankful I chose this one. I am happy and very proud to say that I did not experience one full on panic attack during my trip. When the negative thoughts did arise, I was equipped with the techniques I needed, to deflect them. This book helped me immensely and I hope it can bring courage to anyone feeling paralyzed from anxiety to get out of your comfortable zone and take the chance!
