While a particular book will often contain some very useful tips and ways of perceiving things differently, keep in mind - what worked for the author may not necessarily achieve the same outcome for you. Another important point to acknowledge is that unless the book specifically states as much, the author was not battling with an anxiety disorder at the same time as working on his/her self-improvement. Having an anxiety disorder does complicate the issue and can even cause the anxiety to become worse as you strive to change habits and behaviours. Instead, choose a book specifically for people with an anxiety disorder as any good book will also cover self-esteem issues. Not only is low self-esteem a result of an anxiety disorder, it's often the precursor.
