review 1: I heard Charlie talk about his book on a podcast I listen to regularly. I was struck by how open and honest he was about his lengthy bout with anxiety, and picked up the book right away. I finished it in one sitting. I think it is pretty awesome that Charlie is open not only to detailing what must have been an incredibly painful part of his life, but also open to sharing what worked for him. I've put a lot of his suggestions to good use. I've learned to not take myself so seriously or to obsess over things at work not always going my way. Charlie's message is simple, but it's a powerful one. Enjoy life. Get out there and play.
review 2: I thoroughly enjoyed it. I've been a licensed therapist for many years and worked with countless anxiety sufferers who
... more wanted the magic secret to eliminating anxiety without changing any of their destructive habits. One of my standard questions is "what do you do for fun?" The answer always speaks volumes. I loved Charlie's story because he makes a point of telling the struggle of feeling driven to work all the time and showed just how that breaks down your physical and emotional state. No playing won't solve all of your problems. But the break and subsequent shift in perspective will put you in much better shape & frame of mind to deal with them. Well done. less

If you are workaholic, it's great book. Good advices, but not much motivation though.
