Elizabeth M. Karle, MLIS, is collection management supervisor at
the Cushwa-Leighton Library at Saint Mary's College in Notre Dame,
IN. In addition to supplying research for this book, she has
personal experience with anxiety disorders-providing a first-hand

anxiety sufferer. Originally from Illinois, she currently resides

University of Notre Dame, Roosevelt University, and Dominican
University. She is author of Hosting a Library Mystery.
"Catherine Pittman, a trained behavioral scientist, brings her deep
scientific understanding of fear, anxiety, and learning to the
world of personal experiences. Few scientists can make this
transition from scientific communication to public communication.
Pittman, along with coauthor Elizabeth Karle, does this very well
indeed. Readers should not be put off by the early presentations of
brain mechanisms, because they are surprisingly readable and
informative. Moreover, it is information that provides a foundation
for readers who have anxiety challenges to use later as they
develop effective coping strategies. Readers should find the clear
expositions of the where's, why's, and how's of anxiety and its
management to be an anxiety-reducing
read."
--J. Bruce Overmier, PhD, professor emeritus in the graduate
faculties of psychology, neuroscience, and cognitive science at the
University of Minnesota
"This is a unique contribution to a wide array of self-help books
for those who suffer with anxiety. The authors explain what we know
about the workings of the brain in a fluid style that neither talks
down to nor overwhelms the reader. This science becomes the
foundation for decreasing bewilderment, fear, and shame. There are
straightforward and logical recommendations for modifying patterns
of anxiety that originate from, and are maintained by, differing
brain circuitry."
--Sally Winston PsyD, codirector of the Anxiety and Stress
Disorders Institute of Maryland
"Fear, worry, anxiety, panic, and depression block individuals from
living fully. This book does an excellent job of unraveling the
mysteries of the brain and how it causes anxiety, thus allowing
individuals to take control of their symptoms and manage their
lives more effectively. I have used the concepts in this book in
treating veterans with PTSD and have seen people become much more
functional. Highly-recommended reading."
--Susan Myers, RN, LCSW, BCD, holistic nurse and board certified
diplomate in clinical social work
"From fears to phobias and panic, this how-to guide unravels the
mysteries of worry, then delivers strategies that will lead you to
a resilient life."
--Reid Wilson, PhD, author of Don't Panic
