About this ebook
The comprehensive approach to help you identify, challenge, and overcome all types of worry
You wish you didn’t spend as much time worrying as you do, but you just can’t seem to help it. Worrying feels like second nature. It’s what helps you solve your problems and prevents you from making mistakes. It’s what motivates you to be prepared—if you didn’t worry, things might get out of hand. Worry protects you, prepares you, and keeps you safe.
Is it working? Or is it making you tense, tired, anxious, uncertain—and more worried?
For more than twenty-five years, Dr. Robert L. Leahy has successfully helped thousands of people defeat the worry that is holding them back. This empowering seven-step program, including practical, easy-to-follow advice and techniques, will help you:
• Determine your “worry profile” and change your patterns of worry
• Identify productive and unproductive worry
• Take control of time and eliminate the sense of urgency that keeps you anxious
• Focus on new opportunities—not on your fear of failure
• Embrace uncertainty instead of searching for perfect solutions
• Stop the most common safety behaviors that you think make things better—but actually make things worse
Designed to address general worries as well as the unique issues surrounding some of the most common areas of worry—relationships, health, money, work, and the need for approval—The Worry Cure is for everyone, from the chronic worrier to the occasional ruminator. It’s time to stop thinking you’re “just a worrier” who can’t change and start using the groundbreaking methods in The Worry Cure to achieve the healthier, more successful life you deserve.

This book has helped me out a lot. I'm still working through the book, but it has helped me overcome a challenge that has stalled my life for over a year. It works well if you take his suggestions and actually apply it to your life. It is a book worth purchasing if you are ready to make a serious change. My life is finally on track and I credit this man for it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Robert leahy changed my life !! this playbook and the regular one changed me, I have GAD it took me 2 3 years to really really understand the whole book, but right from the start it made a huge difference and after that it, the book made sense and I'm almost healed now, also if you have tension I highly highly reccomend the progressive muscles relaxation technique in his book anxiety free, if you have mental disorder see it as a gift to really get to know yourself.
