About this title

From the Author:

Life is too short to waste it worrying. As the old saying goes, "A person who worries about death, dies a thousand times while the rest of us must only die once." I come from a long line of worriers, and it’s been one of my quests in life to find a cure. Wouldn’t it be wonderful never to worry again? Wouldn’t it be fantastic if you didn’t have to live in fear? What if I told you it was possible!

There is a cure for worry, and it doesn’t involve drugs. Granted, some people, through no fault of their own, are prone to worry for chemical or genetic reasons, but I’m not one of those people. While I believe this book could even be useful for someone with a mental disorder, this book is written for the average person. It’s written for all those people out there like me who have a bad habit of worrying because that’s what we grew up watching our mothers do.
