Praise for this book

"You don't often see the words 'mindful' and 'freak-out' in the same sentence, much
less think of them as behaviors that can work together. But ADAA member Eric
Goodman, PhD, in his latest book, postulates, rightfully so, that there will
always be times when we do or feel like we need to "freak out" and that we can
actually do so in a mindful way."

For Goodman, the answer is with intention and compassion rather than reactivity.
"Other animals ... have to go along with whatever their nervous systems are
doing," he says. "But if humans can get mindful, if they can get off autopilot
and just be in the moment, unhooked from the stories that their mind's telling
them, then they can choose to respond to things that are based on who they want
to be -- their value system rather than just their threat instincts."

"In this highly interesting conversation, Eric
Goodman, Ph.D lecturer at Calpol State University, will shed much light
on what anxiety really is and on why only two types of people never have
anxiety: psychopaths and dead people. In the end we hope you will agree
that demonizing anxiety cause more problems than it solves, and with
self-compassion coupled with exposure therapy we can minimize it and live
a normal life."
