Flying without Fear
It has been 8 months since I purchased this book and I have flown 6 times since. I can honestly say that my flights were a pleasure thanks to this book! I have suffered for years from panic attacks that were almost crippling because of my fear of flight. What I found most helpful from this book were the breathing techniques (I thought I knew them all) but Dr. Brown's are most effective and all the knowledge that is given about planes and safety issues etc. I would recommend this book highly because I think the approach is effective for anxious people but also teaches the reality of how safe flying really is.

It's much more than you can dream of...
If you really want to get rid of this absurd fear of flying, you simply must read this book! I do know what I mean: I couldn't fly for more than half an hour and... even in such a short flight time I would feel so unconfortable and my anxiety would make me feel like I was going to die right away! But this book thoroughly inspects all those topics that are critical to a fearful flyer: psychological interactions, wrong technical informations hold as gospel by fearful flyers, and much much more. This book is not philosophical musings: on the contrary, it explains you how to handle EVERY little tiny thing which causes you to be a fearful flyer and it concretely helps you recovering from that. One last thing: after reading this book I had a 24 hours trip (from Italy to Korea) and... this time it was fun! I liked it so much! Can you believe it? I wish you this book has on you the same effectiveness it had on me.

More afraid
That's right, this book has made me more terrified than ever to fly. I read it cover to cover, and I am someone who loves to travel and needs to take a plane to see family; and I dread it. Instead of addressing why you are afraid to die in a plane (which is the problem correct?), it lists stats and probabilities, some of which are lies. For instance, he states no plane has ever been lost to turbulence, ever. That is a lie. Japan air, Aerolineas Argentinas, and the recent American out of JFK were all turbulence-related crashes. This author used to work for American, what do you think he's gonna tell you? Another: pilots aren't allowed to fly into level four turbulence. Yet turbulence is unpredictable! How can they not be allowed to fly into something they don't know is there! I know dying on a plane is a 1 in a million chance, that doesn't make me feel any better. Neither will this book help you.
