Hi!

Has anyone read this book yet? It's a compilation of 31 success stories from people who've overcome anxiety disorders, along with commentary from Dr. Paul Foxman (author of Dancing With Fear).

I'm the editor and would love to hear what people think of the book! You can read all about it at http://www.absolutewrite.com/anxiety.htm. Thanks for checking it out!

Take care,
Jenna

I have to do a project where I need to interview people with OCD. It would really help if I could get honest answers from people who have experienced it. If anyone is interested, please email me at name_here2001@yahoo.com. I do not have OCD, but a close friend of mine, who has it, suggested I do my project on this. Thanks in adavance,
Brandi
