Insights are unique and turn me perceive deeply

Excellent info, garnered and gathered, then delivered in the style of a pamphlet more than a book. No personal feeling from the author. Rather formulaic. Yet there is much sage advice mixed in.

A simple, practical approach to overcoming fear.

I literally couldn’t put this book down and read it in hours. McDonagh presents real, logical, accessible ways using his DARE methodology to overcome feelings of anxiety and panic in an easy-to-read narrative. It’s the kind of book you will mark up with a pen, recommend on social media, and snap pictures of pages to share with friends. I highly recommend this book for those seeking help with their own anxiety, and for people struggling to understand the feelings of their anxious loved one. This book will help!
