My Review:
The 145 page ebook is extremely well written. Joe does a masterful job of writing in a simple and thoughtful manner. It feels like Joe is speaking directly to you.
The ebook is laid out in a very effective manner. He starts off by explaining how he has used techniques that have already been put forward in the medical communities and adjusted them to his own unique approach. This gave me comfort in that he is working within the medical community’s generally accepted techniques.
He explains that he evolved these techniques while working to overcome his own anxieties. Of course there is no way for me to verify that statement. Worst case scenario is that it’s just a good marketing approach to portray himself as a fellow sufferer.
Anyway, Joe spends the next several pages going through the general symptoms that are common to all anxieties. This helped me tremendously. It laid the foundation for how his technique might work regardless of the specific anxiety.
He then reveals at a high level his three stage program.
- Stage 1 is all about stopping the anxiety panic attacks from happenning.
- Stage 2 provides exercises that help to release calm into your system in order to allow your nerves to rest from the years of tension.
- Stage 3 then teaches how to ensure long term success.
Another wonderful part of Joe’s approach, is that he reviews each specific anxiety disorder (listed above) and addresses how to take the appropriate steps to achieve the desired Stage 1 results.
As a result, there are several pages that did not relate to my personal quest. However, I was able to zero in on my specific needs and once again feel that Joe was dealing directly with me.
Joe explains in detail exactly what is going on in your body during each type of specific anxiety attack. Then he describes how to counter these sensitivities.
Did it work for me? Well actually yes it has! I have used his techniques a number of times. In one specific situation, I was asked to address a group of senior leaders in the company I work for.
In the past this would have set off my generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), shaking hands, sweating, headache, upset stomach, etc.
Using Joe’s technique I was able to feel the GAD sensations beginning to rise and eliminate them in a matter of seconds. I almost laughed out loud in front of the group, I was so excited.
Are there any negatives about this ebook? Iit’s kind of funny how I reacted to the book initially. Joe’s techniques are so outrageously simple, that I almost felt ripped off.
What helped me to overcome that reaction was that no one has ever offered up these techniques to me before, and they work. Go figure?
Joe also offers a free one on one coaching service. I didn’t take advantage of this, but if you feel that you would need constant pushing to follow through with the techniques, then it may be worth your while.
Finally Joe also offers two free MP3 recordings that talk you through one of his techniques. It could be great to have these in the car or on a plane if you have these types of anxieties.
One caution is that Joe’s sales page is extremely tedious. It goes on and on with testimonials (seemingly forever). I guess Joe is extremely proud of the number of people that he has helped.
Once you can get past the testimonial page and link through to his real sales page, he gets into a lot more detail about what his ebook is all about. It still felt like way too much information for me.
Just scroll through until you find the links to the purchase page. Fortunately his ebook gets to the point much faster than his sales pages.
Bottom line, I can’t help but recommend this ebook. It’s well written, it has valuable information, and it offers techniques that actually work.
