Publisher's Summary

Panic attacks are extreme sensations of fear that overwhelm the individual. They affect nearly 10 percent of the population. The sufferer feels helpless and in doubt of their sanity.

How to stop this nightmare?

Jeffrey L. Hammes, founder of one of the most popular websites on panic attacks, has offered free advice to panic sufferers since 2002 after completely overcoming his own panic. As a scientist, and following years of immersion into all things written on panic attacks, he conceived of a direct method of resolving the panic that completely shut off the fear. On his website, panicend.com, he presents this basic method for anyone to use that has resulted in uncounted accolades from conventional sufferers to trained psychologists worldwide. The website has been translated into eight languages by grateful listeners with more translations pending.

This book is necessary for any sufferer of anxiety or panic.

Great info finally put into a useful book

This is a panic attack sufferer's nightmare.... facing the issue head on. But guess what! It works. For those who truly are suffering and have it so bad that there is nothing to lose, this is your chance and probably only shot but it takes courage. The steps are laid out very clearly and it's brilliant.
In comparison to other authors in this field, the author clearly had nothing to lose and his last resort ended up being the cure. I'm thankful his experience and information can be passed on for others to use.

Brilliant. Really works

The author reads calmly and with conviction which is a pleasant listen. He's no voice actor but the authenticity makes up for it. The content however is incredible. It's been extremely useful for me helping me understand my anxiety issues and also curing most the symptoms I've had for several months now which have come and gone over the last few years. I feel like I will make a full recovery thanks to this terrific advise. Without wanting to sound patronising, I think well read individuals and especially those who have studied some form of scientific degree will get most out of this due to the authors communication style. Someone used to typical fluffy lowest common denominator self help books may not get much from this.

Perfect book!

Perecer book he’s not a sell out and u can tell he’s honest with this book that’s the main reason I believe what he says It’s helped me so much already I need to keep practicing but I’ll get there soon I already noticed improvement. I love it worth every penny

Excellent.

Finally.....This book has the solutions to get your life back. Highly recommend. Thank you very much.

Pure fluff

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Everything.

Would you be willing to try another book from Jeffrey L. Hammes? Why or why not?

Yes, so long as it's written as plainly as the information conveyed on his website.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Oddly, yes. Although it was read by the author, he delivered the entire spiel in a sort of stiff monotone that was both annoying and distracting.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Non-applicable

Any additional comments?

I was a fan of the author's website PanicEnd, which seemed to convey all of the information needed in a clear-cut, friendly manner. I had actually noticed a decrease in my own anxiety while reading his reassuring words, so I bought the book.

What a mistake. This book is a convoluted list of do's and don'ts to a counter-intuitive problem, which is a recipe for absolute disaster. Worse yet, 99% of the book is a series of emails to and responses from the author, for an added dimension of blandness and explanations on how to micromanage a panic attack; something the author's website seemed to recommend against.

All in all, it's just a bunch of counterproductive fluff. Read this if you WANT a panic attack, because it'll give you one.

Very helpful

A Great read that explains the causes and symptoms of anxiety/panic attacks.
The author gives an insight into how and why your body and mind react to your anxious thoughts, as well as explaining how to overcome them. This really helped me over the line with my anxiety problem and I can thoroughly recommend this title.

THIS IS A MUST READ

I have listened to this audio book about 5 times. it is incredible how a change in thought pattern can actually control and prevent a panic attack. I have had panic attacks for 5 years and first read this 2 months ago. I am now going through the desensitisation Jeff talks about. I believe I will be back to where I was before because of this book
