This is a wonderful compilation of inspirational success tales! They are told by real-life people who have conquered what Ms. Glatzer (the editor) calls “the anxiety dragon.” As a victim of frequent and debilitating panic attacks, accompanied by fastidious phobias, I found these tales to be very helpful. Just when I had nearly resigned myself to living with the restrictive and lonely effects of anxiety, these conquerors have brought me a new sense of hope and determination to join their ranks! There were so many methods, treatments, and experiences discussed by people who had been victims of anxiety in its various forms. The analyses and tips by Dr. Foxman added to my feeling that dealing with anxiety need not be a lifelong losing battle! I recommend this book to anyone looking for reassurance that, with resolve, there can, indeed, be a light at the end of the tunnel!

Paul Foxman, Ph.D. and Director of the Center for Anxiety Disorders in Vermont, offers an introduction in which he introduces himself as one who has suffered from anxiety and offers commentaries at the end of each essay. He says “These tales are full of hope and promise for anxiety recovery. May they fulfill their mission to spread the word and inspire many others to conquer their anxieties.”
Each chapter is a tale and is shown on the Content’s page. In addition, Glatzer has organized the topics addressed to make disorders, therapies and feelings very simple to find.
The chapters average about 5 pages each but some are just a link of pages and a few are 7 or 8 pages in part. The essays are presented as on paper by the authors so it was not Glatzer’s intention to edit them down or “tweak” them.
Glatzer’s hope is that people realize they are not alone while reading these 31 essays describing very personal situations and feelings. The authors have opened themselves up to the world. You will find a link of professional writers, you will read tales by people who just like to write, and others who perhaps never intended to see their tale in print.
I found that more often than not most of the authors used some of Foxman’s approaches even if they didn’t know they were. I like Foxman’s commentaries a lot. I like the fact that not only does he clarify in a professional way what often times the authors do not do because they are telling their tale, but he also talks about how the various conditions came to be (perhaps multiple stresses). He also talks about physical symptoms, which are an vital part of this book for people who are seeking help or seeking to know if they need help.
The book is listed under psychology/self-help on the cover and I would imagine it being used in classrooms. Rarely will a student or an onlooker have a look into what panic and anxiety is like from a first-hand perspective with no clinical jargon or going back to one’s childhood to find out the answers to why it happened. Some authors do attempt to figure out the whys, but for many, the whys are much less vital than the “what can I do and who will help me” questions.
How do I know this? I am an author in this book. I am not reviewing it to sell it, but. My bottom line is that this is a book of hope and of wanting not only to be heard but also to have others get some relief from their distress. I wish I had been handed it 20 years ago.
