This was a comprehensive look at the causes of various types of anxiety, the physiological processes involved, and possible treatment options. Having suffered from various forms of anxiety throughout my life as well as gastric issues worsened by anxiety, I was interested in Dr. Marks’ explanation of the physical relationship between “brain and gut.” For me, as I imagine for the average anxious person, the critical issue has always been, “how do I improve things?”

Dr. Marks explains a variety of recognized therapy options such as exposure therapy, vitamin and non-traditional paths such as intermittent fasting, resonant breathing, types of yoga and even aromatherapy. Dr. Marks’ explanation of evidence for and against various treatment methods is the best I have ever seen.

An excellent book, an intelligent and “meaty” read.
