A physician's warm, story-rich guide to overcoming nervousness. Robert S. Carroll illustrates, through real cases, how the anxious and high-strung can master their nerves and reclaim their peace through understanding and steady habit. Sympathetic and hopeful, it treats nervous trouble as common, human, and beatable. A reassuring classic for anyone whose worries run away with them, offering not a scolding but a patient hand back to calm.
