Re: Which book?
Self Help for your Nerves would be a good start, definately.
I was a little put off by the age of the books when I bought them, but really, what's changed in the world of anxiety? They're pretty much bang up to date, with some of the most helpful advice you'll find.
A real easy book is Feel the Fear and do it Anyway. It's not geared towards anxiety but more life in general, and it's a good motivator if anything.
