Book Cover & Preview Text
Introduction
Many books have been written on the subjects of anxiety and panic. Members of the medical profession have written most of them. The information obtained from these books is educational, informative, and stems from years of study, research and medical practice methodology.
The Journey to Peace takes an entirely different approach. Written by a lay person with years of experience in dealing with anxiety, it is intended to show a clearer perspective.
Readers will not find an in-depth definition or explanation of these conditions. Instead, practical steps to deal with anxiety are presented in a clear, concise, easy to read format.
These twelve steps took shape through many years of practicing different techniques, reading about and studying the subject, and personal experiences of the author. Each of these steps plays a role in reducing the physical, mental, and emotional effects of stress, anxiety, and panic.
This book is written to reach out and help others that experience symptoms of anxiety and panic. It is my greatest expectation that this book has come to fruition in order to reach those that will benefit from it the most.
I sincerely hope that the practice of these twelve steps will provide some guidance and relief. Godspeed as you embark on this journey to peace. You may begin your journey now.

About the Book
Journey to Peace introduces a twelve step program to assist individuals suffering from symptoms of anxiety, panic, and stress to embark on a journey towards a more peaceful existence. (The title serves as a creative acronym for the twelve steps contained within the book.) The steps include methods for living a full life in deferral of these symptoms.
This particular book offers a unique perspective. It does not seek to define, explain, or educate readers on the facts, figures, or conventional treatments. A common sense approach is used with the goal to empower readers to live a less anxious life by practicing techniques that serve to acknowledge and work through symptoms.
The tone of this book takes on a humorous, tongue and cheek approach to sharing information. It is written in clear, concise language that is easy to follow and entertaining to read. Readers are encouraged to engage in the twelve steps at their own pace, and to follow the steps in a way that is most advantageous to them. It is not written as a rigid prescription to follow. In this way, the book serves to induce a sense of relaxation by simply reading it.
If readers follow the suggestions and recommendations in this book, they will complete their Journey to Peace and realize the ultimate goal of this writing—living life on their own terms.
