Although it not specifically about overcoming anxiety I believe she does claim to be a sufferer. At one point in the book I seem to remember her describing anxiety as the feeling that something big is about to happen and your at the middle of it. I am glad your post has reminded me of it. I think I might read it again. Cheers.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Fri, 29 Nov 2013 09:31:25 GMT Pixie15 2013-11-29T09:31:25Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/staying-well/books-and-other-resources/m-p/69323#M4126 <P>I'm looking for a biography of an anxiety sufferer that talks about how they overcame or managed their anxiety. Preferably a biography of a well-known person that can easily be identified with. My partner is an anxiety sufferer and would like a biography that might inspire her. Appreciate any advice you might have a good book. Thank you.</P> Thu, 28 Nov 2013 11:42:15 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/staying-well/books-and-other-resources/m-p/69323#M4126 helpinghand 2013-11-28T11:42:15Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/staying-well/books-and-other-resources/m-p/69324#M4127 <P>Hi,</P> <P>If you want a book to inspire and amuse you could try "What Women Want" by Nelly Thomas.
