This course is new or has been updated recently.

As you work through this book, you can expect to grow. The book you are holding is different from other anxiety and mindfulness books. The Mindful Path Through Anxiety will help you understand anxiety and how it impacts your life. It is hard to sort through anxiety and move past it into your quality life if you just try to walk over the surface, ignoring the heart of it. That said, you do not want to get stuck in trying to understand anxiety and its workings in your life. Like everyone, including the author, you need practical and active ways to overcome it. In this book you will discover many exercises designed to help you do just that. (Adapted from the Book)
