upset. Jennifer Shannon takes the simple metaphor of 'monkey mind'
and fleshes it out with wisdom and simple steps that anyone can
follow. Here, in plain language, is a comprehensive set of concrete
steps to let your anxiety run its course and then fade. Jennifer
Shannon has blended the best of cognitive behavioral methods and
acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to produce a great
contribution to the self-help literature. Here you can learn to
return your energy and attention back to your voyage through life,

recommend it!"
