“If excessive worry affects the quality of your life, you owe it to yourself to
get a copy of The Worry Trick by David Carbonell. A wise and caring teacher,
Carbonell explains why the old, timeworn strategies to conquer worry don’t
work very well, and why our best attempts to get rid of worry end up falling flat.
In The Worry Trick, Carbonell teaches strategies that will most likely be new to
you, and work amazingly well. Writing in a style that is both entertaining and
easy to understand, Carbonell uses his wry sense of humor to great advantage.
As I read the book, I marked many sections that provided valuable tools and
insights, and others that made me smile or laugh out loud. I especially liked his
comment that our strong-willed attempts to ‘stop worrying’ are like ‘trying to
grab a greased pig on ice!’ So, if worry is affecting your life, don’t miss out on
the solutions—and yes, the fun—you will find in The Worry Trick.”

teacher for people recovering from anxiety disorder, member of the Anxiety and

Public Education Committee
“Finally, someone has written a book about worry that I can give to my
clients that I’m certain will be helpful to them as they struggle to better
understand and deal with their constant worrying. So very many of my clients
worry constantly and have searched in vain for tools and techniques to help
them, but now Dave Carbonell has given them what they were looking for—a
treasure chest of tips and ideas for handling worry. This is an eminently
readable book that I’m sure I will recommend to many of my clients for years to
come.”
—Robert W. McLellarn, PhD, founder and director of the Anxiety and
Panic Treatment Center, LLC, in Portland, OR
“This is the best book on worry I have read. It has all you need to put an end
to ongoing, painful, toxic worry. Carbonell speaks in a clear, witty, no-nonsense
style, and explains why you have been unable to contain worry so far. He gives a
comprehensive explanation of why the worry trick has fooled you into
inadvertently keeping worry alive, even when you are trying so hard to make it
go away. Read this book if you are a worrier, if you want to help a loved one
who is a worrier, or if you are a professional treating a worrying client. There is
no magic cure for ending worry—it takes effort and a good bit of courage, and it
no magic cure for ending worry—it takes effort and a good bit of courage, and it
is easy to lose your way. This book is a flawless road map.”

“Thank you, Dave, for writing such a treasure of a book for those struggling
with anxiety and out-of-control worry. Worry has a way of convincing those
experiencing it that it is VERY SERIOUS and IMPORTANT and must be
immediately attended to. The key to freeing oneself from worry is learning how
to relate to it from a new perspective. This fabulous book, The Worry Trick,
teaches readers how to move past worry by offering simple, easy-to-implement
techniques. I plan on recommending it to all of my clients who struggle with
uncomfortable, out-of-control worrying.”

Treatment Center, and coauthor of The Panic Workbook for Teens
“Have you ever thought of yourself as having a relationship with worry? In
The Worry Trick, David Carbonell turns worry into characters—Uncle
Argument or even a flatworm—so that it becomes possible to figure out what to
do and, most importantly, how to change that relationship. With a lively sense of
humor, Carbonell offers vivid images and analogies to help readers understand
and do something about changing that relationship with worry. In my work on
mental skills for optimal performance with athletes, performing artists, and
business executives, we often address issues of performance anxiety. After
reading The Worry Trick, I started using many concepts with clients; it’s a book
that I will strongly encourage my clients to read as well.”
—Kate F. Hays, PhD, CPsych, CC-AASP, founder of The Performing
Edge in Toronto, ON, Canada; and past president of the Society for Sport,
Exercise, and Performance Psychology
“No ‘tricks’ here! Carbonell’s book is chock-full of advice based on the two
