Discover a new sense of freedom as you work through this expertly crafted workbook, now revised and updated to be even more user friendly.

The second edition has been updated with over a decade's worth of research advances. It includes more detailed instructions for customizing the program, added support for staying motivated, vivid stories that run throughout the book, new separate chapters on relaxation and mindfulness, and downloadable audio recordings.
