In an era of tension between the brain and mind, Dr. Michael Zal has taken one of the omnipresent feelings of our time—anxiety—and written about how we can grab hold of it. He is well acquainted with the subject from a distinguished career of helping people in the intimate setting of his consulting room, and he shares some of their stories with us in Renaissance fashion: he integrates his knowledge of biological science, clinical medicine and humanism while alleviating their suffering. I think clinicians, patients and their family members will all find his Ten Steps to Relieve Anxiety soothing, and will feel more equipped to cope with anxiety when it interferes with our living life fully.
