"Don't Feed the Monkey Mind begins with a well-written
synopsis of basic attitudes and mental habits that perpetuate
anxiety. The book follows with a set of clear, concise changes in
mind-set and behavioral strategies to overcome anxiety at its
roots. The 'monkey mind' concept is an apt, original contribution.
Examples of points provided by the author as well as references to
her personal story help make the book accessible to readers of all
kinds."

Workbook and Coping with Anxiety

"This book is a gem for people seeking to tame runaway anxiety and
upset. Jennifer Shannon takes the simple metaphor of 'monkey mind'
and fleshes it out with wisdom and simple steps that anyone can
follow. Here, in plain language, is a comprehensive set of concrete
steps to let your anxiety run its course and then fade. Jennifer
Shannon has blended the best of cognitive behavioral methods and
acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to produce a great
contribution to the self-help literature. Here you can learn to
return your energy and attention back to your voyage through life,
rather than the worries and fears that have hijacked your focus.
Professional psychotherapists will also find it useful. I highly
recommend it!"
