It is natural to worry; it is our body's built-in warning system, and it serves an important function. However, sometimes the worrying can get out of hand, and worry starts to disrupt your life, and your enjoyment of it.

This book is written to help anyone who finds themselves distressed and distracted by their fears, or anyone who is concerned that their worries may be getting out of hand. Not only will it give you practical steps to stop worrying - and advice on how to deal with setbacks - it will also help you to turn worry to your advantage, using it in a more positive way for better outcomes.

Armed with a systematic approach as outlined in this book, you will be able to use worry constructively, and come to see it as helpful rather than harmful.

"Fascinating" * Michelle Paver on "The Incurable Romantic" *
