“Anxiety affects nearly everyone from time to time, and millions of Americans rely on tranquilizers as a solution. But these ‘solutions’ often bring problems of their own. There is another way: the integrative, non-drug, natural approaches presented by Dr. James Lake, a leading authority for this widespread problem. If anxiety is compromising your joy and fulfillment, this book can be a lifesaver. Highly recommended!”
