The Worry Cure: Seven Steps to Stop Worry from Stopping You Paperback – October 24, 2006

Received in excellent condition 👍🏼 the cover matches the displayed cover. Delivered on time 👍🏼

I am skeptical about buying any book that proclaims to cure anything. I am a health care professional and I bought this book as well as listened to it on audio. It's a three hour listen and well worth the time. Of course being a worrier I multitasked while listening, but I did listen and I reflected inwardly as I listened. This book is interactive where as most books, just lead you through a bunch of writing exercises and examples of other people's situation without explaining the example. The author explains each example in detail and then tells you what is wrong and what is right also how to apply the concepts. The ten steps are easy to implement and accomplish immediately. I was able to follow along and parctice the 10 steps immidiately as the examples resonated with a lot current events that I am experiencing. I have practiced these steps for 5 days now and my anxiety has dialed down 90 percent. I have even put it to the test in a relationship situation and it was very effective.I look forward to what it can do in a months time and a year. I have an active imagination and I create lots of distortions about varied life situations and I am now able to dispute these thoughts and dismiss them as unproductive thinking. I have had several therapist over the last 8 years and none have helped. I have bought a plethora of self help books and after reading them felt lost and dismayed . This book has worked for me and I wish that I had found it before I spent thousands of dollars only to be disappointed.

I ordered a new book but the book I received was not new. It had stains on the front as if someone had spilled something on it or put a coffee mug on top of it. There was also some wear on the front cover.

This is a WoW book; with so many insights that are significantly helpful.A best buy for me highly recommendable for everyone.

I am a therapist, and I have a lot of books about overcoming worry. This is one of the best. Very detailed, with specific skills, not just superficial "tricks."

I've been taking medicine for depression for years now, yet I still worry constantly. I decided when I started worrying about my future kids' futures that enough was enough. I've realized from this book that I also have generalized anxiety disorder (worrying constantly-a symptom my doctor said goes with depression and said you can't get rid of it) and many of the worries talked about in this book are exactly what i do. I haven't completely finished reading it yet, but so far it is the most helpful self-help book I've ever read. It's really an eye opener and I just love the worry tests he has, these are very valuable to understand how you worry. I can't wait to finish the book and I do hope I can be successful and stop worrying since I know now that it doesn't do me any good like I thought it did. I've found through this book that I've got an immense fear of uncertainty and he touches on this problem a lot which I like.I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone that is a constant worrier like I am. I've been a worrier as long as I can remember and it is finally time to enjoy life with the help of this book. The book really puts it all in perspective and forces you to realize that worrying constantly does not make you better prepared for the negative in life or any surprises that may crop up.

I've been suffering from hyopthetical event worry for about a year now, causing me significant distress. This was the second book I picked up on the topic of anxiety/worry, to help me deal with my fears. At the time, I thought it was the best book available to deal with worry, Leahy is certainly a very well respected CBT therapist. However, at least for me, this book didn't provide enough guidance to get at the true heart of my worries. I've now been working with Overcoming Worry and Generalised Anxiety Disorder, 2nd Edition, by Kevin Meares and Mark Freeston, for the past two months, and have a significantly better grasp on my worry than I have over the past year. Worry Cure helped me along my journey, but I believe I'd be a lot further on my road to recovery had I started with Overcoming Worry. If you're suffering from either real-event, or hypothetical event worry, please at least look into Overcoming Worry and Generalised Anxiety Disorder, 2nd Edition, by Kevin Meares and Mark Freeston. It's available as a Kindle book on Amazon, but I bought the paperback version through a UK based company.

This book was extraordinary in my life. But the reason it impacted me was because I did the work to get cured of worry. This book cannot help you if you don't help yourself. The book taught me that worriers like I was often take "comfort" in their worry and that is why it is perpetuated.My worry was crippling. The kind of worry where you can't get out of bed in the morning but you haven't slept all night due to worrying.What really set this book apart for me (given that I have read numerous de-stress/how not to worry books) is that the tests in the book help you to figure out what is your biggest worry. Now, you may think you know what your big worry is but you don't because you are so clouded by too many worries. When you take the test, you actually find out what the biggest worry is and then you do the work to cure it.After 40 years of overwhelming worry, yikes... the cure is finally here for me. Dr. Leahy, wherever you are, I can't say thank you enough.But if you don't do the work, you won't get cured.
