"Anxiety Happens is a gem of a book. It reads like a gentle journey
with a wise and caring guide. The highly expert authors guide you
every step of the way, as you develop the willingness,
self-compassion, and wisdom needed to embrace the fullness of a
life well lived. It's just excellent."
--Dennis Tirch, PhD, author of The Compassionate-Mind Guide to
Overcoming Anxiety--Dennis Tirch, PhD
"Forsyth and Eifert have written a rare book, which combines solid
scholarship, enormously practical tools, and an overflowing heart.
Anxiety is pervasive, perhaps these days more than ever. To find a
deep sense of confidence and inner peace, I highly recommend this
book."
--Rick Hanson, PhD, New York Times bestselling author of
Resilient--Rick Hanson, PhD
"John and Georg have done it again: this is now their third superb
book for radically transforming the way we respond to anxiety. In
fifty-two bite-sized chapters, they'll show you a wide variety of
simple yet powerful ways to powerfully change your relationship
with fear, anxiety, and insecurity in all their different forms.
You'll learn not just how to disarm anxiety, but how to actively
utilize it to build a rich and meaningful life. If you want to get
past your blocks and barriers, develop a deep sense of inner
security, and do those important things that really scare you--this
is the book for you!"
--Russ Harris, author of The Happiness Trap--Russ Harris
"There are fifty-two weeks in the year, and fifty-two nuggets of
gold glinting in this short book. You don't have to climb to the
top of a mountain to find your guru: John Forsyth and Georg Eifert
are sitting, figuratively speaking, right in this book. They guide
you through well-tested, poignant exercises and mind changers for
stopping anxiety from interfering with the life you want to live.
And they talk to you the way they suggest you talk to yourself:
with compassion, openness, acceptance, and wisdom."
--Ian M. Evans, FRSNZ, professor emeritus of psychology at Massey
University, New Zealand; and author of How and Why People
Change--Ian M. Evans, FRSNZ
