Once again the masters of the heart and mind connection have developed brave new inroads into the realm of humankind. It is no wonder that we continue to see magic from their insights. HeartMath is an unending guide to the inner self, the evolutionary brain and the enigmatic heart. My own experiences with HeartMath continue to underscore their unique approach to health and well-being. Outstanding self-directed knowledge, provided by their new approach to anxiety, not only serves to create better individuals and leaders, but ultimately better companies.

The well-being and health benefits that can accrue when people apply the techniques developed by HeartMath can have a significant positive impact on often-incapacitating symptoms associated with anxiety and related syndromes. HeartMath techniques can have an impact on the biological mechanisms that underpin these conditions not only in individuals but groups of individuals in an organization. In my experience, HeartMath is an immensely powerful set of tools, as individuals with anxiety can learn to recognize and modify their own response, reducing the negative affect that anxiety and anxiety-induced symptoms can have on their well-being and overall health.

This latest work from HeartMath is a model for other self-help books. The reader is actually taught easy-to-use strategies that can resolve anxiety and other problems in living. HeartMath strategies can be learned and used without professional assistance or they can be taught by practitioners whose goal is to empower their clients. The case studies give the reader hope and confidence. I teach HeartMath concepts in many countries and have found them highly effective with people of widely diverse cultural, geographic, and religious characteristics. HeartMath methods produce healing whether used by themselves or in conjunction with the friendly biofeedback devices famously pioneered by the HeartMath team, which is to say that I have found them to work as well on an isolated tsunami-ravaged beach as in a comfortable clinic. I strongly recommend this book both to individuals seeking to treat themselves, and to their teachers.

Transforming Anxiety is a unique work of compassionate science. The reader will discover, within its pages, heartfelt empathy whose genesis is founded in some of the most intriguing research of our time. It is an operators manual for anyone who has ever been caught in the wake of the emotional tsunami known as anxiety. But it is so much more for those who take its wisdom to heart. It is a road map to inner peace and a greater sense of fulfillment.
