Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the United States affecting 40 million adults ages 18 and older. Millions more suffer from being "anxiety prone." That everyday malady is addressed in this down-to-earth and practical paperback by Dr. Alice Boyes, an emotions expert whose research has been published by the American Psychological Association.

Drawing from her extensive clinical experience in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, the author examines the challenges faced by those who have trouble overcoming their stuck points through hesitancy, rumination, perfectionism, fear of feedback and criticism, and avoidance. These traps create what Boyes calls anxiety bottlenecks.
Throughout the paperback, there are tests, quizzes and exercises for personal assessments. Boyes's tips, if taken to heart and practiced, will give anxiety-prone individuals a new lease on a life of balance and self-acceptance.
