How long did it take you to write your book?

Wendy Leeds link

8/9/2022 11:36:33 am

Great question Bernie.The simple answer is that it took me six years, but the truth is it took me a lifetime of being anxious and learning to deal with that anxiety.

Marcy Meyer

8/8/2022 06:46:27 am

I like the cover. It looks great. Sounds like a really good story.

wendy leeds link

Rita Wray

Sounds like a good book.

wendy leeds link

8/9/2022 12:11:42 pm

Thanks so much, Rita. My hope is that helps women (and men) who have been dealing with anxiety either short term, or, like me, their whole life. The truth is, those of us with anxiety don't often talk about it, and we offer suffer in silence. I hope we can start to talk about it and share our stories.

this sounds like a wonderful book to read

wendy leeds link

8/9/2022 12:15:46 pm

Thanks so much, Wendy. I hope it really makes a difference in people's lives. When I was a kid I thought everyone was anxious. I thought anxiety was just a part of life and there was nothing I could do about it. What a joy to know I wasn't the only one, and there were all sorts of things I could do to feel better! What a thrill to share what I've learned with the world.

Jon Heil

8/8/2022 03:05:40 pm

This sounds like a great story.

wendy leeds link

8/9/2022 01:17:51 pm

I hope so, Debbie. It was tough to share some of my struggles with cancer and anxiety, but it's so empowering to know that I'm not alone in that struggle. And the really good news is that none of us has to be alone with our fear and worry. We can share our stories, our fears and our successes!

Kim Kern

8/10/2022 07:43:37 pm

I think a lot of women would benefit from reading your book.

wendy leeds link

8/11/2022 06:19:42 am

Oh, I hope so, Kim. I think so many of us are walking around feeling worried and afraid and alone. But it doesn't have to be like that. We don't have to be afraid or feel alone anymore.

Susan Smith

8/11/2022 02:35:03 pm

Sounds like a great book. I like reading self help books. I have had Anxiety at times in my life.

wendy leeds link

8/11/2022 04:43:35 pm

I like self-help books too, Susan. And I have anxiety. In fact, that's why I sat down and wrote Calm & Sense. For you and me and everyone else who struggles with fear and stress. I'm so glad that I get to share my favorite tips and techniques that you can use to feel better right away. No more suffering!

I think my wife would enjoy it

wendy leeds link

8/13/2022 08:25:19 am

Not only do I hope your wife would like it, David, I've had a lot of men say they've found it helpful as well. Although I wrote the book with women in mind, I think dealing with anxiety is tough for all of us no matter who or where we are. It's my hope that this book helps everyone who, like me, is dealing with anxiety!

Ann Fantom

8/12/2022 08:58:43 pm

This sounds like an interesting book and I also like the cover.

wendy leeds link

8/13/2022 08:29:45 am

Thanks so much, Ann. I wrote this book to help anxious people, like me, find common sense ways to deal with their anxiety. I put together all the tools and techniques I've learned over a lifetime of personally dealing with my anxiety and helping other people deal with theirs. That aside, I love the cover too. Those are such great colors!!!!

David Hollingsworth

8/12/2022 11:15:01 pm

I could see myself reading this.

wendy leeds link

8/13/2022 08:32:01 am

David, I hope you will read it. If you or someone you know is suffering with anxiety this is like a road map out of that suffering. Nothing complicated, just simple everyday things you can do right now to feel better. To be honest, this was the book I was looking for to help me with my anxiety. When I couldn't find a book that helped, I decided to write one.

Serge B

8/13/2022 07:03:35 am

I enjoyed the excerpt

wendy leeds link

8/13/2022 08:33:29 am

8/13/2022 01:31:07 pm

Thanks so much, Valerie. I hear from so many women these days that they're more anxious than ever. And I'm hoping Calm & Sense can help women deal with the stress and worries that seem to be so much a part of our daily lives. It's time we start feeling better!!!!

Cynthia C

8/13/2022 01:36:09 pm

Sounds like it would help a lot of people.

wendy leeds link

8/13/2022 03:42:26 pm

Thanks so much, Cynthia. That would be my dream come true. I'm tired of seeing people suffer needlessly, when there are things they can do right now to start feeling better.

Thanks so much, Karin. I agree. There are so many of us suffering with some anxiety these days.

Cindy Merrill

8/16/2022 08:57:06 pm

When was the book written? Just curious.

wendy leeds link

8/17/2022 06:52:02 am

What a great question, Cindy. I always say the book took me six years to write. But the truth is that it's taken me my whole life to gather together all these tools and techniques for dealing with anxiety, and then to put the very best of everything I've learned in one place. I have to say this book was a real labor of love for me. Thanks so much for asking!

Calvin

8/17/2022 08:33:07 pm

Jonathan W

8/21/2022 08:25:54 pm

Really sounds like a helpful and well researched book. My wife would probably love to look into it more as well!

wendy leeds link

8/22/2022 09:13:01 am

Thanks so much, Jonathan! When I'm asked I say Calm & Sense took me six years to write, but the truth is, it took me most of a lifetime dealing with my anxiety to collect all these tools and techniques for easing anxiety. It's my hope that it helps other anxious people as much as it's helped me.

BILL HOFF

8/21/2022 08:26:30 pm

This book will be in my wife's Christmas stocking!

wendy leeds link

8/22/2022 09:17:35 am

Wow, Bill. What a thoughtful gift. I so hope it helps your wife find your ways to ease her anxiety. I know from personal experience how tough anxiety can be. And I also know we don't have to let our fears hold us back from living out best lives!!!!

Christina Gail Pearce

8/21/2022 08:46:17 pm

Thanks so much, Christina. I really hope you find all sorts of things in Calm & Sense that help you feel better. I'd love to hear what works for you and what doesn't. Please let me know how things go for you! I love to hear from other people making this same journey.

Kayla Doan

8/21/2022 08:46:22 pm

Sounds like a good book for me to read! I have high functioning anxiety.

wendy leeds link

8/22/2022 09:26:32 am

Hi Kayla. Boy do I know what that's like. I wish I could say there's a miracle cure for anxiety -- but as far as I know there isn't. But the good news is that there are lots of things we can do to feel better. And I hope and believe that you find a couple of tools and techniques in Calm & Sense that make a real difference in your life. We don't have to do this alone!

Leah

8/22/2022 06:50:37 am

This sounds like something I (and a few other people I know) should read.

Wendy Leeds link

8/22/2022 09:31:34 am

It's great to hear from you, Leah. The truth is, anxiety doesn't just effect the anxious person, it can have an impact on all the important people in their life. Handing someone a book like Calm & Sense can be a great way to help someone in your life find a path to feeling better -- without having to have a difficult conversation. It is my passion and dream to help end the silence and stigma around anxiety. We don't have to do this alone!!!!

Jen Reed

8/22/2022 01:52:17 pm

The book sounds very useful to help you stop and decide how you want to live life with less anxiety.

Wendy Leeds link

8/22/2022 03:30:04 pm

Wow, Jen. I hadn't thought about it that way. But I think you're right. We're all so busy these days, we forget to stop and really look at our lives. Are we living life to its fullest? Are we enjoying life the way we'd hoped? Are we ready to make a few changes to feel better? If Calm & Sense helps anyone stop and think about what they really want -- it would be my dream coming true!

Brandon Sparks

8/22/2022 02:20:40 pm

The book details sound amazing. I can't wait to read the book..

Wendy Leeds link

Thanks so much, Brandon. You've made my day, and I hope Calm & Sense gets you on the path to feeling calmer and more peaceful. Please let me know what you find works for you. I love to hear from my readers! Also, if you're interested I have a podcast the Anxiety Connection and you can always visit my website wendy leeds.com. I offer lots of videos and blogs for those days and times you need some extra support!

jennifer galindo

wendy leeds link

8/23/2022 06:08:28 am

He Jennifer, I'm so sorry to hear about what you're going through. I know how tough it is to deal with anxiety. Please know you're not alone, and there are things you can do to feel better. Please don't suffer in silence. It really helps to connect with others going through the same thing, and to talk about what you're going through.

Hi Judy, What a great question. I've been anxious my whole life and have spent much of that time looking for ways to feel better.
