The author prefaces the book stating he likes the format of having 108 chapters, and to his detriment wrote enough content to fill this number of chapters when the same amount probably could have been said in half. As I said, there was value in his personal experiences - but if your anxieties manifest in different ways, his failure to use enough meaningful, detailed examples from people other than himself starts to make it hard to relate to. He really knows his stuff because not only is he a doctor but he had really bad anxiety for decades and figured out how to heal himself.

This book, in three weeks, has taken me from chronic anxiety, barely able to leave my house, to a functioning human being with a very low level of anxiety and alarm.Russell Kennedy, MD + Anxiety/Neuroscience Expert on Instagram: "In my book ANXIETY RX I talk extensively about the need to slowly learn how to release and abandon thinking of the mind by redirecting your conscious energy into feeling in the body. This alarm is a physiological pattern that’s been left by events in our past, usually in early childhood. What was really useful was to hear someone say what I’d been saying, that you can’t think your way out of anxiety. Anyone associating with this consummate professional will be fortunate to receive the whole package: smarts, heart, and a warmly wicked sense of humor.
