Jerilyn Ross’ Triumph Over Fear may be the book that helps many people with anxiety disorders, but it wasn’t the book that helped me. It was refreshing to read about anxiety disorders, self-help techniques and research from the perspective of a person who lived with an anxiety disorder for years. That perspective itself makes this book unique. I, however, found that the book was geared towards those with anxiety who wanted to comprehend the anxiety and related issues at relatively low levels. I was looking for a comprehensive, scientific self-help book, complete with worksheets, and a program to work through. While this book came with some exercises, they seemed overly simplistic, and contained many things that I had already learned about numerous times through other books and products. The stories in the book regarding other people and their triumphs over their anxiety issues were appropriate and added interest to the book, rather than dominating the book and overshadowing the self-help techniques available. Overall, this is a good book for those who want a simplistic program in dealing with their anxiety, not for those who are looking for a rigorous, intellectual approach to reducing anxiety and panic.
