As you browse through this book, you may be hoping to find ways to alleviate negative anxiety. I understand all too well how painful it is to watch the days pass while your anxiety holds you captive. I know the feeling of being overwhelmed in moments of heightened worry and how agonizing it is to have an intrusive, distressing thought that seems utterly irrational yet impossible to shake off.

Do you know why I understand all this? Because I lived a period of my life engulfed in painful negative anxiety. This book is the culmination of my experiences, diverse readings, research, studies, and proven scientific methods. I wrote it for you, to help guide you toward the peace of mind that I, by the grace of God, enjoy for most of my life.
