Rewire Your Anxious Brain: How to Use the Neuroscience of Fear to End Anxiety, Panic and Worry Paperback – 26 Mar. 2015

I found this book very insightful, well structured and easy to follow what is quite a complicated subject. It covered the topic in a way that helped me understand the processes and interactions within your brain in a way that helped me understand what I'd already learnt from CBT. Another great tool in the mental health toolbox.

After trying several books to help ease my anxiety symptoms, this book really clicked with me. The authors go in depth to explain the science behind why the brain produces anxiety, and this knowledge alone, combined with some anti anxiety strategies really helps you to understand the problem and helps to make CBT techniques more effective. I'm pleased to say that by putting this book into my practise, I've really experienced lasting relief form anxiety symptoms!

Interesting read. Helps to understand what you and others are experiencing and also why they react how they do..

This book provides access to the science behind anxiety that will help you understand the internal processes that feed your anxiety together with exercises and methods to reduce the effects of anxiety in your life. I have read a number of books on anxiety and this is by far the best due to it being an easy read, despite covering some difficult neurological topics, and it is set out it manageable bite sized chunks. Great exercises that I can see the value of, now I just need to put them in practice.

Very clear and re-assuring in that this book gives you the possibility of understanding the sources of anxiety in your brain's responses and gives guidance on taking control. It is particularly good at explaining the interaction between two parts of the brain and how thought, ingrained patterns of worry can activate some of the very unpleasant symptoms of stress and panic attacks. It does tend to be a little repetitive in going over key points but as the point of the book is to re-train your thinking process, this is part of the re-education. I have found it very helpful in the middle of a stressful passage in my life.

This book is amazing. It explains everything in detail, gives examples and ideas to each subject that you can see if you can relate to or not. I'm still reading it but I really needed to leave a positive feedback already as I really love the book. I'm going to read it again when I finish, that's how much I love it. It opens my mind and shows things at different angles. I even think that I'm going to do more research on the brain topic as it's very fascinating.

I cannot believe there is only one other review for this book as it is superb. One of the key reasons for its excellence is that it details the importance of the amygdala in causing untold upset to so many of us, and includes numerous strategies for taming this unruly part of the brain. It is so clearly set out and, unlike so many other books on the subject, succinct - no four hundred pages of verbosity and repetition here. I have searched high and low for just such a book which uses the most up to date neurological research with techniques, both ancient and modern, to give you the chance of achieving a state of resilience and equilibrium amid life's trials and upsets. I have bought a fair number of titles along the way but this is the one which, for me, stands out from the others. I wholeheartedly recommend this book.

A very good book explaining how anxiety works in a clear manner. However, as a mental health practitioner working with people suffering from anxiety conditions, I think there is a huge omission when the authors talk about managing amygdala-based anxiety. They have only referred to exposure therapy and relaxation as techniques for dealing with this. I am concerned that exposure therapy risks re-introducing trauma, and I have found that the REWIND approach is a very safe and hugely effective technique to remove triggers from the amygdala. I understand that this can also be done with EMDR and other similar approaches.It is my opinion that this is a glaring omission from this book which is attempting to document the range of anxiety conditions and how to manage them.
