Book Reviews of Peace from Nervous Suffering (Signet)
Book Review: Saved my life
Summary: 5 Stars
Many years ago I suffered from agoraphobia, not even having a clue at the time what that meant. While I was never housebound, everyday situations like riding in cars, sitting in the boss's office, or going to the grocery store could produce almost heart-stopping anxiety. I was virtually paralyzed in my life, and certainly would never have accomplished any important life goals in that state -- a condition that crippled me for about ten years. One day I happened on Dr. Weekes's book "A Simple, Effective Cure for Agoraphobia." I don't wish to sound overly dramatic, but my life was pretty much turned around by Dr. Weekes's clear, basic and empowering program. I have remained essentially symptom-free now for 20-plus years. I mean, we all have those nervous-making moments, but mine are now in the normal and manageable range and, while I used to have trouble driving to a nearby convenience store, I have now traveled pretty extensively in several continents -- not bad for a former agoraphobic, huh? Several years ago I wrote a letter to Dr. Weekes to thank her for the profound changes I experienced with this (then) maybe $6 book purchase. Sadly, I learned from her niece in a lovely letter that Dr. Weekes is no longer living. I owe Dr. Weekes a great deal, and would certainly encourage anyone who suffers from an anxiety condition to take a chance on her books. There is always an investment of personal energy in any therapeutic effort, and (as the commercials always say) "results will vary," but Dr. Weekes provided me with a framework that was reassuring, directive and enormously beneficial. I can't recommend this book highly enough.
