Dr. David Barlow
"The Mindfulness & Acceptance Workbook for Anxiety combines the accumulated wisdom of the ages with up to date, cutting edge developments in scientific psychology. In an easy to read and fun format, those suffering from anxiety in all of its guises will find the keys to breaking loose from its shackles. By emphasizing acceptance of toxic emotions (and illustrating ways to accomplish this), rather than struggling to overcome them, the person inside you may finally emerge to set your life on a new, productive, and valued course. Highly recommended for all those struggling with worry, anxiety, and fear."

Dr. Zindel Segal
"Ably surfing the dual currents of traditional exposure and acceptance based treatments for anxiety, the authors of this resourceful workbook illustrate the synergies to be found in their combination. Carefully structured charts and patient assignments support the core message that taking action to face one's fears is most effective if acceptance informs our starting point and values determine our destination. This book is a 'must read' for anyone encountering anxiety as a barrier to a leading a fuller life."

-- Zindel Segal, Ph.D., Professor of Psychiatry and Psychology at the University of Toronto and author of The Mindful Way Through Depression.

"The Mindfulness & Acceptance Workbook for Anxiety represents a major advance for the practical treatment of anxiety and related conditions. This book will assist clinicians and patients in constructing a treatment plan that insures progress in overcoming the many obstacles associated with conquering fears. A major contribution to clinical care, this workbook will contribute to the growing knowledge base on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as it joins other evidence based approaches as a major tool for treating the disabling symptoms that accompany anxiety."

Dr. Richard G. Heimberg
"If you suffer with anxiety, Drs. Forsyth and Eifert have given you a gift. The Mindfulness & Acceptance Workbook for Anxiety is not a structured manual for how to get over your anxiety as much as it is a book of wisdom. They raise the inevitable truth that anxiety is a part of all of us, and they show us the way, through willingness, compassion, mindfulness, and acceptance of ourselves and others, to live a life worth the living, to understand our important values and to live in concert with them. This is a book well worth the reading, and its message worth keeping close to your heart.

Dr. Martin M. Antony
"In this impressive workbook, Forsyth and Eifert show how giving up your attempts to control anxiety and fear will help you to leave your anxiety problems behind and get on with your life. This clearly written book is packed with helpful suggestions. I will definitely use it with my own clients and students, and I recommend it highly for anyone who struggles with anxiety.
