Review:This is a great, hilarious, but also helpful book. Being a therapist myself, I found his approach particularly awesome. He uses aspects of CBT and DBT to get his message out about "kicking anxiety's ass" and dealing with having a "douchebag brain." I loved his "talking to a friend " language. I highly recommend this book for people dealing with anxiety but also depression, as well as fellow therapists. Quite enjoyed it! Read more

I frankly cannot imagine an English or German physicist being so lyrical - nor brief.
The lessons as such are really not "lessons" in the sense of what you get at graduate school or even college. The reason for t... Read more

Review:I got it for my brother for Christmas. I asked him what he thought about it but he said a bunch of stuff I didn't quite understand but he was smiling while he talked about it so it was probably good stuff. Read more
Review:Bought this for my 15 year old son who has Aspergers and is home schooled. He really likes it and is blazing through it! On days that I let him choose subjects to work on he always wants to do physics first! Read more
Review:Book was very informative and left no surprises come test time. I was over prepared after reading through this book, doing the paractice tests, and using the cheat sheets for some last minute studying. Would recommend to anyone. Read more
Review:This book is essential to osteopathic medical students for OMM - it skips all the boring details and gets to the good stuff. The practice questions are great. What I don't understand is why they are still stuck in the 90s and not offering this as an ebook. Get on board, publishers! Read more
