Question?
Does the kindle version utilize the audio (i.e. meditations) on the CD that comes with the paperback book?

Thank you :)

Overcoming Anxiety for dummies
I purchased this for my daughter who is suffering from anxiety.She had some full blown panic attacks that kept her from working, socializing and almost all aspects of everyday living.The book will give you some ideas that you can use right away and that is what we were looking for.It has been updated recently and is quite easy to follow and understand.The title can be a little off-putting but if you can chuckle about that you are off to a good start.

The anxiously awaited 2nd edition does not disappoint!
Updated and upgraded, Overcoming Anxiety for Dummies, 2nd edition, remains true to the excellent work of Drs. Elliott and Smith. Along with refreshing the material from their 2007 edition, they have included a new section, "Zeroing in on Specific Worries" that makes this book especially topical. In their easy-to-follow style, they take readers by the hand and teach them how to take in stride the challenges of the 21st Century. Whether you are concerned about career or financial stressors, natural disasters or pandemics, Drs. Elliott & Smith make effective coping an achievable reality for every reader

This New Edition Really is New!
I've seen a lot of second edition books that didn't seem to have much new in them at all. The authors did a masterful job of refreshing Overcoming Anxiety For Dummies. In addition to spiffing everything up, they also included a brand new section on worries inherent in our modern day world--things like terrorism, financial collapses, pandemics, and natural disasters. Kudos!!

As an author of this book, let me know if you have comments!
We love hearing from readers. Please let us know your comments and reviews here. Thanks! ... Read more

CARL ROGERS OPEN TO NEW FORMS OF LOVING
Carl Rogers
Becoming Partners:
Marriage and its Alternatives

(New York: Delacorte, 1972) 243 pages

This book consists mostly of interviews with ordinary people
who have normal problems in their loving relationships.
Rogers is open to rational experimentation with new forms of marriage.

Looking for more recent books along this line?
Search the Internet for the following bibliography:
"The Best Books Critical of Traditional Marriage".

CARL ROGERS INTERVIEWS PEOPLE ABOUT THEIR MARRIAGE
Carl Rogers (1902-1987) was an influential American psychologist and (along with Abraham Maslow) among the founders of humanisticpsychology.

He states in the Introduction to this 1972 book, "The book is... a series of slices, pictures, perceptions---of relationships, breakdowns, restructurings---in a wide variety of partnerships. These inner views are presented in a nonevaluative fashion. Are the unions 'good' or 'bad' or do they belong in some other judgmental category? I do not know. They EXIST. It is my belief that you will find here highly intimate and meaningful accounts of the man-woman relationship as it is actually lived---with all its tragedies, dull plateaus, ecstatic moments or periods, and instance after instance of exciting growth."

Here are some quotations from the book:

"It is becoming increasingly clear that a man-woman relationship will have permanance only to the degree to which it satisfies the emotional, psychological, intellectual, and physical needs of the partners. This means that the permanent marriage of the future will be even better than marriage in the present, because the ideals and goals for that marriage will be of a higher order. The partners will be demanding more of the relationship than they do today." (Ch. 1)
"Marriage and the nuclear family constitute a failing institution, a failing way of life. No one would argue that these have been highly succesful. We need laboratories, experiments, attempts to avoid repeating past failures, exploration into new approaches." (Ch. 10)

Shrinks are responsible for sexual revolution
Even this is an older book, but whatever Rogers suggest are horrible. No wonder families are broken, marriage dissolved.

Shrinks are responsible!!!

Wonderful!
Great book about the challenges of partnership.It includes lessons learned from life and therapy, that will surely apply to your life.Rogers was a great man with a lot of hope for what the human race COULD be.

The world needs more humanistic psychology crafted with empathy for the potential we all have within us.

I miss him and his ideas very much.

Excellent
A best way to training your brain in several exercises , I strongly adviced this book to another people .

pesimamente malo y mediocre
que decepcion con este libro !!!!. el 80% se enfoca es en dar consejo a los estudiantes acerca de como pasar un test o examen. nada mas !!!. solamente lo unico informacion util que da este autor,,es el sistema peg.
es un libro muy mediocre y aburridor,,yo habia adquirido el libro (como aprender un idioma en 7 dias) de este mismo autor,,y de verdad que ese libro si me impresiono gratamente,es muy bien explicado y divertido,,e inclusive lo recomiendo,,, pero este libro es absolutamente inutil,aburridor y mediocre,,le aseguro a los que lo compren que sacaran minimo provecho de el,,,,si quieren un libro excelente y con buenas tecnicas para la memorias os aconsejo los libros del autor "harry lorayne". son supra-excelentes !!!!.

Absolutely Brilliant!!
I cannot find all the words to describe how
I feel about this book.I just finished reading it
and I started to read it a second time. It's just
WOW!!

There is so much offered in this book that will
help countless others too.Those that are ready and
have the counsciousness to go the step further WILL
GET IT!!!! If you are looking for tools to help you through the difficulties and challenges in your life, this book is for you.

After reading the 'Stories of Fay', I am no longer
the same person, but an uplifted Soul that can see
more of how adversity teaches a person the lessons
they "Soul" came to this earth to learn.

This book has strenghtened my beliefs, and given
me more hope and love to appreciate myself, others
and the love and connectedness we share as Souls.

Your book will make a beautiful movie and help so
many people.A true gift to this world indeed.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the tools and gifts you have shared here.

Hmm! Hmm! Hmm!Brilliant!!!!
