Dont worry its good information

i have listened to this audio book twice. alot of great advice and ideas to use everyday.

Insightful Points

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This book provided some insightful points. I felt like the seven step process was not applied systematically to each scenario. So in that way I felt like it could have been organized a little better or more systematically.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked some of the practical advice. Like arranging a time every day to have your "worry" time so you can avoid unproductive "worry" time.

What does Mike Chamberlain bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

It was very pleasant to listen to.

What did you learn from The Worry Cure that you would use in your daily life?

See above.

Worry Not, this book is fantastic!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. It's the field guide you've been looking for.

What did you like best about this story?

It gets to the heart of the matter with real world scenarios and practical advice. It gives the reader an observational perspective on their own behavior. The whole book may not pertain to you but you can be sure that you will be able to apply some of it to your life.

Which scene was your favorite?

I liked the scenario's given and the 'split view' of what was happening internally.

What did you learn from The Worry Cure that you would use in your daily life?

To stand back and let life happen...worry is only a facade and trickery of the mind. You will be alright no matter what.

Any additional comments?

Worth a read and a re-read

Powerful ideas, poorly presented

The audiobook is full of powerful ideas. So much potential. However, the book is poorly written. The ideas are hard to grasp and fully digest. The book comes across like a long list of ideas. I would rather read an article about Dr. Leahy’s big ideas. The author should look to books like No Drama Discipline for the ideal template for writing self-help books.

helpful techniques

This is a cognitive behavioral therapy approach to anxiety that walks you through common anxiety patterns and approaches to help cope. the examples and layout are done well. the book follows a logical pattern. with a reasonable amount of repetition and coherence.
