I was given this book as a gift, from a friend who knows I worry too much. It's just not that interesting. While it does have valid information, it's information I could have found just as easily in another book, with a much more interesting layout. The book is very clinical, and very dry. While I'm sure the advice is helpful, this book is best left to the professional who doesn't care about the sense of humor or other things normal individual oriented self help books have.
