Brimming with practical ideas and "things to do", The Worrywart's Companion includes 21 simple things anyone can do when they feel a worry coming on. Instead of fretting and worrying, following these simple precepts shows can soothe the mind and calm the spirit so that we can think more clearly, deal with the worry at hand, and then let it go. Positive, easy to understand, and fun to read, The Worrywart's Companion explores the roots of worry and explains that worry is a behavior that is learned. The good news is that it can also be unlearned. The Worrywart's Companion is an ideal addition to any self-help, self-improvement reading list or library collection. -- Midwest Book Review
