An Easy Read and Good Information!” As a therapist working with clients dealing with anxiety, I found this book to be an easy read that would be helpful to my clients just beginning to manage their fears, worries, and anxieties. It gives simple and succinct examples of how to manage fear with real life examples. I think it is important to keep in mind that this book is helpful in getting some basic skills that you can use at home but if you find that your life is being frozen due to anxiety this book would best be paired with therapy or other types of professional support.

“Practical And Easy-To-Read Guide on Fear!” Stan’s book offers practical advice about the power of fear and offers suggestions for overcoming them or at least not allowing them to control one’s life. It is a practical guide that offers common sense advice that anyone can use. It provides a support to those who are fearful of their fears or fearful of admitting them.

“Small But Powerful!” This small guide on overcoming fear makes several salient and powerful points. Popovich offers cognitive strategies- how to think one’s way out of fear – in straightforward terms. He brings clarity and simplicity to interventions that often take full books to describe. But my favorite intervention offered by Popovich is the spiritual approach – a technique that is generally overlooked despite its positive effects overwhelmingly validated in the psychological research literature. Reliance upon God has been shown again and again to strengthen psychological coping mechanisms and physical well-being, reducing stress, anxiety, depression, and illness.

“Reading This Guide Is the First Step into The Rest of Your Life!” The author, Stanley Popovich, presents three main principles in his book A Layman’s Guide to Managing Fear: General Counseling Techniques encourages critical thinking and deductive reasoning, Non-Resistant Methods of dealing with fear is more of a defensive approach, and Belief in Faith can provide a powerful foundation for problem solving. Along with detailed stories, the reader is provided with websites dealing with fear and several Biblical scriptures that provide support. This book is highly recommended!

“A Great Read!” The author does a good job of explaining fear and ways to manage it so the average person can understand. The examples of managing fear in this book are also easily applicable to the daily lives of readers.

“Great Resource for Managing Fear!” Mr. Stanley Popovich has written an easy-to-understand guide in managing fear.
