About this title

About the Author:

In 1983 Gary Laundre earned his doctorate in Transpersonal Psychology and Comparative Religion. While at the same time, he served as an English teacher at southern California's Hollywood Academy, helping newcomers to America become well acquainted with the English language. His interest in helping people overcome personal challenges continued in other ways. Gary began work on his own manuscript for a book that would eventually change the way thousands of people deal with their eating habits. The result is the highly acclaimed book, "Think & Grow Thin," published in 1994. By this time, Gary Laundre was settled in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he developed a successful behavioral therapy practice. Here, he personally helped thousands of clients to lose weight, stop smoking, and successfully deal with phobias, fears, and anxiety issues. Gary's techniques focus on both the mind and the body working together as a team to produce the best results. His dedication to quality has produced a steady stream of professional and private referrals to his practice over the last quarter century. Gary Laundre's dedication to the community and its health has prompted a steady stream of radio interviews, television specials and magazine articles internationally. As past president of the International Association of Therapeutic Specialists, (a non-profit organization) Dr. Gary Laundre helped to pioneer efforts to integrate varied healing techniques into mainstream medicine. His internet column, "Health Reviews by Dr. Gary Laundre" helped serve as a conduit to his international audience. It offered his readership a means and a guide to find the highest quality and most effective solutions available in the health industry. In 2001, Dr. Gary Laundre authored a new book, "How to Expand Your Comfort Zone - Release the Fear That Holds You Back." This book has helped thousands of people to become aware of the strength and resiliency of the mind-body system to release fear, anxiety, and

Review:

This is Dr. Laundre's best work to-date on conquering fears, phobias, and anxieties - a worthy and significant addition to his previous self-help books. Gary writes in an easy-to-read style. He takes what could be considered a very technical scientific subject and brings it down to a level so that anyone can understand. He exhibits a keen sense of humor, which bobs up regularly to extract a laugh - we are really laughing at ourselves, because we know that what he says is really (and sometimes sadly) true. In this book, the author proposes that happiness is not in pushing beyond our comfort zone. It is in Expanding Our Comfort Zone. He happily brings us a new definition for the process of gaining control over our emotions and our lives. He calls it "de-junkification" and it is based on his research and observations with thousands of clients who suffer from the leftover effects of what the author calls both "visible and invisible self-limiting conflicts." He asserts that most of us don't live as happy (fear-free) a life as we could, and suggests that mind-body fitness should include a short, daily regimen of the "Happiness Code." Gary also offers an intriguing challenge - try the "code" before you buy it. Although that may not be possible for on-line buyers, it could be a great reason to visit your local bookstore. According to the author, Gary Laundre, "I want to prove how well the 'code' works. Like many people, I was initially skeptical about the effectiveness of the "Happiness Code. But, if anyone will just follow the step-by-step directions, they will get a benefit from it." Readers will enjoy the many real-life stories that Dr. Laundre tells - both about himself and many of his clients who have "dissolved fears in their life." There's lots of illustrations, including an inspiring Getty image by Hennrik Weis that graces the book's cover. This book also provides a helpful primer for those who manage people. As stress and anxiety increases, the cost of pro --Rachel Ray, News and Reviews, rhpub.com
