The Worry Cure: Stop worrying and start living

Description

Do you worry that you'll say the wrong thing, wear the wrong outfit, or look out of place? Or maybe that you'll make a mistake at work, disappoint your partner, or overlook a serious health problem? Or perhaps you just worry too much - constantly running what-if scenarios through your head? Of course you do - we all do. Worry is a central issue in many people's lives. In this groundbreaking book, Dr Robert Leahy offers new insight, advice and practical techniques for everyone who has ever had a sleepless night. Using the most recent research and his 25 years of experience treating patients, Dr Leahy helps us understand why we worry and how best to defeat it. In his easy-to-follow programme, he tells you how to: Identify productive and unproductive worry. Accept reality and commit to change. Turn 'failure' into opportunity. Use your emotions rather than worry about them.

Dr Robert Leahy is the president of the International Associtation of Cognitive Psychotherapy. He lives in New York City.
