Summary: My Panic Attacks are Gone Forever!
Review: I lived with panic attacks for four years before reading "From Panic to Power. My doctor told me there was no medical knowledge as to why panic attacks occurred and that this was a condition I would have to live with for the rest of my life. I was also told the only hope I had for relief from panic attacks was a lifetime of medication. I lived with this depressing diagnosis until I discovered Lucinda Basset on the Oprah Winfrey Show. She's not a doctor, rather someone who lived with panic attacks and learned how to recover through educating herself and having the courage to face her fears. In "From Panic to Power", Lucinda talks about her own journey from daily panic attacks to complete recovery. She also shares techniques that the reader can begin using immediately to reduce the severity and duration of panic attacks and eventually stop them altogether. After reading this book and practicing the techniques Lucinda teaches, I have fully recovered from panic attacks and I am no longer on any medication. I never thought this was possible and if I can do it anyone can. This book honestly changed my life forever.

Summary: Very Helpful
Review: This book sheds a refreshing and much-needed light on the issue of anxiety-- a problem which is surprisingly prevalent, especially among young people. It is informative and comforting, as Bassett provides very thorough descriptions and explanations of anxiety symptoms, and also encouraging, as it was full of stories of and methods for recovery. I recommend it to everyone, even to people with very mild anxiety, as a source of inspiration and a stepping stone to personal insight.

Summary: Can't breathe? Read this book!
Review: Several years ago I thought I was going crazy, I even saw a physcologist (no help). This book made me aware of what was wrong and thanks to this book, I cured myself. Lucinda first identifies the symptoms of anxiety. She does so in a way that I was totally able to identify with. Then she gives you techniques and tools for coping with anxiety and panic. Everytime I see her on TV I send her a prayer of thanks.

Summary: Good intro and just what I needed
Review: this is a perfect book for you..buy it! at the time this mine was purchased i had no idea what was wrong with me other than the fact i was always tense and thinking too much. well now i know i had panic attacks a lot and i would never have known if it wasn't for this book introducing me to the illness. it's a step by step process.. this book WON'T cure you nor will it ease symptoms on it's own.. treating any illness takes time and effort on your own part and assistance, in this case, with therapists.. and for myself, i still am tense a lot and it interferes a lot with my life but my life makes a whole lot more sense now and i actually have a sense of direction.. i actually credit my overstressing with getting me through my education every day and i'm only 19. i suggest you buy this book! yes it was a good review, wasn't it?

Summary: A comforting book...
Review: I won't lie & say this book "cured" me of my panic attacks & anxiety, but it helped so much! Please, please if you're suffering from panic or anxiety, take the time to read this book. It's one you can read & reread & learn from each time! Bassett proves that panic & anxiety are CURABLE & MANAGEABLE through her own story of success interwoven throughout the book. The road to overcoming anxiety is not an easy or fun one to travel, but you certainly learn how much stronger and capable you are than you ever thought possible by travelling it!

Summary: This book is good for information on positive thinking.
Review: This book gives a story of one whom overcame panic disorder and tells how you can by using positive thinking. However, the book does not give a good holding for someone to treat themselves with. I need more information or ways on how I can master positive thinking. Therefore, I don't feel this book has any great value for someone who is in desperate need of help to recover from panic disorder.
