Just a list of common sense

A basic list of everything, that anyone who struggles with, already knows. Like someone took notes from everyone else work then literally listed the issues out. Nothing useful to help those who’s mind is already in chaos or actually structure and implement these things. Waste!

Free Your Mind

This was an informative introduction on dealing with panic and anxiety attacks. The information provided did seem reasonable and was easy to understand.

Introduction to anxiety & panic attack recovery

This book gives advice generalized anxiety disorder and panic attacks, which I think it did reasonably well. Please note that although I do have OCD, I don't have generalized anxiety disorder nor do I have panic attacks, so I can't speak to its content from personal experience. That said, what I heard from this audiobook did corroborate my experiences and understanding of how to recover, so I have confidence in it for the most part. I do think it at times oversimplified a very complex set of problems and could have used more examples (rather than repeatedly using "having an anxiety attack" as an example as a feared event), but it's good as an introduction to the mindset for recovery from anxiety. I am a little wary, however, of anything that promotes pseudoscience like the gamut point, which this book did at one point.

Anyone interested in help with other problems should know, though, that the cover and subtitle, though, are misleading - it didn't really address depression as the cover suggested, and negative thinking is basically addressed only as it relates to anxiety. Those were the reasons I had taken interest in the book, which meant it really wasn't that useful for me and was fairly disappointing.

The reader was clear and easy to understand, and he modulated individual sentences in a sensible way, but he used almost the same modulation for every sentence. It was like listening to the same sentence repeated over and over, just with different words, which honestly made the book difficult to pay attention to. I found myself rewinding because I had started to tune him out unconsciously and missed part of the book

Kind of Short.

The entire audio made a lot of sense Found it helpful I am a long time sufferer of Anxiety

Amazing book

It had genuinely helped me understand anxiety, which is the first steps to understand why my productivity is always low.

Helpful!

I learned a lot in the hour and a half I listened to this audio. Learning what makes something work is the best solution to figuring out when things go wrong and how to prevent it from happening - I just never related that to mental health before. Great information and narration was well done.

Comforting advice for those stressed with anxiety,

Any additional comments?

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. That said, this book is a breath of fresh air - few long words and/or medical-speak (apart from “amygdala” which is explained at length). The author of this book uses simple words and I felt like he was chatting with me across the kitchen table.

What's more, the talented narrator is a bonus. I really enjoyed listening to him as he has a wonderful voice and speaks at a slow and easy-to-understand pace.

There are chapters related to anxiety, panic attacks, fear, agoraphobia, setbacks and other topics. Within various chapters, there is a massive amount of subject matter related to all of those topics, as well as fear of public speaking, belly breathing, nutrition related to nerves, negative thoughts and people, and much more.

The book contains especially good information about the symptoms of anxiety: shivering, TMJ jaw problems, ringing ears, extra sensitivity to noise, and many, many more. I was surprised by the the number of symptoms he described at length.

I got interested when the book mentioned Dr. Roger Callahan, originator of TFT. Unfortunately, it only mentions a special anti-stress “gamut” point on the hand that he used. It did not state that TFT originated when Dr. Callahan solved a panic attack problem by doing several things, one of which was tapping an acupuncture point under the eye. Thanks to Gary Craig, TFT later morphed into a simpler stress-reducing technique called EFT (in which I am certified). I wish there were more about TFT or EFT in this book

The book's subtitle (“A Guide to Freedom from Anxiety, Depression, Panic Attacks and Intrusive Thoughts”) might mislead readers interested in depression - or even make them depressed after finishing the book. While all the subtitle topics are all covered to some extent, there is minimal treatment of “depression,” and no chapter specifically devoted to it, even though “depression” is in the subtitle. However, there is an entire informative chapter on agoraphobia which is not in the subtitle.

In summary, this is a well written and interesting book containing many valuable nuggets of information and is sure to be well received by those suffering from anxiety, panic attacks, fears, phobias and other stressful conditions.

Great Read

Free Your Mind: A Guide to Freedom from Anxiety, Depression, Panic Attacks and Intrusive Thoughts by Jamie Stevens was a good read. This was a good guide to help with mental health issues. It gives great advice that can be helpful to many.

Good Practical Advice

Jamie Stevens has penned a how to book for those who suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. As this topic does not lend itself to scintillating reading, Dan Hankiewicz did a capitol job in keeping my ear phones on, fine job. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher but it is well worth the price if you are in need of the advice presented.

Very informative

Being among the millions of people who suffer from anxiety, I was aware of what happens, but not so much the why.
The narrator has a kind voice and reads at a pleasing pace. In no way are the facts told in a condescending manner.
A quick and enjoyable listen.
I was given a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
