I am the freelance editor who worked on Dr. Joseph Luciani's book from its earliest inception to the final manuscript that was submitted to the publisher. It's unusual for a manuscript that I'm editing also to have such a profound effect on my life. Not only did I very much enjoy working with Joe, I learned a tremendous amount about myself in the process. I could identify the ineffective and destructive personality traits of people I know, and my own as well. Self-coaching taught me how to fix the things that needed fixing and accept the things I couldn't change.
I highly recommend this clear and straightforward book to everyone, not just those who suffer from anxiety and depression.

I have read many books on anxiety and depression. Self Coaching was the first one that really made sense to me. It is written in such a way that you can begin to unravel the path of anxiety, and see insights that you have never seen before. Dr. Luciani shares his own experience with anxiety and depression, and then goes on to explain why so many of us get caught up in the anxiety web. And most importantly, he shows us how to unravel it and be rid of extreme anxiety for good. This is an excellent book, I highly recommend it.

With an amazing combination of style and psychological insight, Dr. Luciani has written what will soon be seen as the next breakthrough in bibliotherapy and self-help. Using over 25 years of clinical experience, Dr. Luciani explains how to overcome depression and anxiety by confronting the irrational insecurity at the foundation of these disorders. He uses numerous case descriptions to illustrate the self-coaching technique, which makes the book easy to follow and the techniques easy to apply. In addition to looking at depression and anxiety, several maladaptive personality styles are examined in a self-coaching framework to treat a wide range of psychopathlogical behavior. There is no doubt that all readers can benefit from the revolutionary and powerful therapeutic tools that make up Self-Coaching.
