Panic Away, by Barry Joe McDonahue
The lessons you’ll learn in Panic Away are truly powerful…and if you apply them they will no doubt change the way you think of anxiety and how to deal with it.
The first thing that caught my attention about the Panic Away program was the countless testimonials on the homepage. Just listening to them proves that overcoming your anxiety issues is possible (you can listen to them here). The “crux” of the Panic Away program is something called the One Move™ technique, which is a very powerful technique that does a great job of annihilating anxiety once you’ve learned it and practiced it.

The Linden Method, by Charles Linden
(2 Seperate Programs for Adults and Children)
The Linden Method is a program that has been around for ages, and claims to be the world’s “premier anxiety/panic attacks/OCD/agoraphobia elimination program”, and is probably used around the world by more clinical psychologists than any other program.
The only downside to the Linden Method is that the price used to be relatively steep (at close to $200). But recently, since they started to offer the program in electronic download format, the price has fallen by over 55%.
The best part about the Linden Method program is without a doubt their 1 year of 24hr telephone and email support, which is included in the program. So if you’re the type who needs a little support, you can get it.
Another cool feature of the Linden Method is that they have a junior program for children with anxiety for children aged 7-15.

The Anxiety Lie, by Rich Presta
Anxiety Lie is a very unique program. You could say it’s like the “anxiety school of hard knocks”. It has absolutely none of the usual “positive thinking” and “mantra” type stuff you might have heard of before. I don’t think it’s a program for everybody, but personally I thought it was great. I really like Rich Presta’s style and the way he communicates.
If you’ve tried other programs before and they haven’t worked for you, it’s definitely worth a go, because it will give you yet another way of thinking about anxiety that you probably won’t get anywhere else. The hard knock way.

The Original Driving Fear Program, by Rich Presta
The only program geared directly towards driving anxiety is also by Rich Presta. Personally, I’ve never had driving anxiety specifically, so I’ve never read it. But I know that a lot of people so, and the reason I’ve included it is because I’ve seen reviews in countless anxiety forums (like TAPIR) that say this program is pretty darn good.
Driving anxiety can take a huge toll on your life and really limit your options, and effect your relationships with others, but it can be overcome…
If you suffer from driving anxiety, check this one out!

The Anxiety-Free Child, by Rich Presta
I recently came across this book while browsing through some forums. It’s a brand new anxiety book for children called The Anxiety-Free Child. As you can imagine, many children suffer from anxiety problems. Since most anxiety books aren’t really geared towards children, if you have a child with anxiety, this program could be an answer to your prayers. The author, Rich Presta (also the author of Anxiety Lie and The Original Driving Fear Program), is renowned for his expertise in anxiety related education, and I trust his new book could be just what your child needs.
All of the authors of these self help anxiety books know what they’re talking about, and if you really want to have an anxiety free life, they can help you get there…
But…
The most important thing, like in any aspect of life, is to take action on what you learn. Don’t just read these anxiety books and expect things to magically start working for you. It’s all about doing the one thing you’ve heard from all your coaches, parents and teachers throughout your life…
PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!
You’ll get there.
All the best
