I recommend HeartMath without reservation to all individuals and organizations that are striving to create with the compassion and intelligence of the heart.
—Gary Zukav, author of The Seat of the Soul and The Dancing Wu Li Masters
Doc Childre and Deborah Rozman have developed a very usable and effective approach to anxiety that is grounded in research, as well as an accumulation of treatment based experience. Their techniques are strategically laid out to build one upon another and can be extremely helpful to people with a variety of anxiety problems.
—Stephen I. Sideroff, PhD, clinical psychologist; assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences at the University of California, Los Angeles
Transforming Anxiety is a powerful guide to using positive emotions and loving kindness to reduce anxiety in its myriad of forms. Drawing on both science and common sense, the HeartMath tools will be helpful to anyone when practiced as taught in this straight-forward and easy-to-read book.
—Frederic Luskin, Ph.D., director of the Stanford Forgiveness Project and author Forgive for Good
As a caregiver to cancer patients, I know how essential emotional management is to the healing process. This book offers hope to those who struggle with anxiety and healing to those who put its principles into action. If you let this book into your heart, you will live a happier, healthier and, I believe, longer life.
—Rev. Dr. Michael Barry, director of pastoral care for the Cancer Treatment Centers of America, Eastern Regional Medical Center, in Philadelphia, PA
The power and genius of HeartMath’s solution for transforming anxiety is found in its simplicity. The proven techniques shared in this book can be practiced anytime, anywhere, by anyone, and I am confident they will not only transform your anxiety but also transform your life.
—Jon Gordon, America’s #1 energy coach and author of The 10-Minute Energy Solution
HeartMath offers individuals of all ages effective strategies to cope with the increasing stress and anxiety of everyday life, and therefore the opportunity to make wiser, less emotionally charged decisions for themselves. Nearly everyone can benefit by using the HeartMath processes to manage the perpetual stresses each of us encounters. This book offers professionals and laypeople alike additional tools to improve their own quality of life and that of their patients and clients.
—Lilli Friedland, Ph.D., ABPP, member of the Council of Representatives of the American Psychological Association, and past president of the APA’s Division 46, Media Psychology
Once again the masters of the heart and mind connection have developed brave new inroads into the realm of humankind. It is no wonder that we continue to see magic from their insights. HeartMath is an unending guide to the inner self, the evolutionary brain and the enigmatic heart. My own experiences with HeartMath continue to underscore their unique approach to health and well-being. Outstanding self-directed knowledge, provided by their new approach to anxiety, not only serves to create better individuals and leaders, but ultimately better companies.
—Cathy L. Greenberg, Ph.D., physical anthropologist; cofounder and managing partner of h2c (Happy Companies, Healthy People); and coauthor of What Happy Companies Know .
The well-being and health benefits that can accrue when people apply the techniques developed by HeartMath can have a significant positive impact on often-incapacitating symptoms associated with anxiety and related syndromes. HeartMath techniques can have an impact on the biological mechanisms that underpin these conditions not only in individuals but groups of individuals in an organization. In my experience, HeartMath is an immensely powerful set of tools, as individuals with anxiety can learn to recognize and modify their own response, reducing the negative affect that anxiety and anxiety-induced symptoms can have on their well-being and overall health.
—Tony Yardley-Jones, FFOM, FRCS, Ph.D., DipMedAc, director of West Berkshire Occupational Health at Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading, UK
This latest work from HeartMath is a model for other self-help books. The reader is actually taught easy-to-use strategies that can resolve anxiety and other problems in living. HeartMath strategies can be learned and used without professional assistance or they can be taught by practitioners whose goal is to empower their clients. The case studies give the reader hope and confidence. I teach HeartMath concepts in many countries and have found them highly effective with people of widely diverse cultural, geographic, and religious characteristics. HeartMath methods produce healing whether used by themselves or in conjunction with the friendly biofeedback devices famously pioneered by the HeartMath team, which is to say that I have found them to work as well on an isolated tsunami-ravaged beach as in a comfortable clinic. I strongly recommend this book both to individuals seeking to treat themselves, and to their teachers.
—John Hartung, Psy.D., clinical psychologist and teacher at the Colorado School of Professional Psychology, and coauthor of Energy Psychology and EMDR
Transforming Anxiety is a unique work of compassionate science. The reader will discover, within its pages, heartfelt empathy whose genesis is founded in some of the most intriguing research of our time. It is an operator’s manual for anyone who has ever been caught in the wake of the emotional tsunami known as anxiety. But it is so much more for those who take its wisdom to heart. It is a road map to inner peace and a greater sense of fulfillment.
—Dan Baker, Ph.D., founding director of the Life Enhancement Center at Canyon Ranch and adjunct faculty member at the University of Arizona, College of Medicine
I called HeartMath to ask them to help after Hurricane Katrina—and they did. We have been using HeartMath techniques with the evacuees with great results. Our clients are pleased and so are we with the effectiveness HeartMath brings into our clinical practice. I am familiar with most of the HeartMath literature, and in my opinion, Transforming Anxiety is the best book put out by HeartMath to date. It conceptualizes the HeartMath philosophy and combines practical tools, science, and examples in a coherent blend of simplicity that makes it understandable for the layperson and provocatively insightful for the clinician. It has stirred my mind and my heart!
—Butch Robicheaux, LCSW, clinical director of Family Services of Baton Rouge, LA
Transforming Anxiety is a fantastic and functional read for anyone who wishes to bring more balance and alignment into their life. This book gives you the most practical guidance on how to manage your emotional energy. It helps to identify the very nature of anxiety, fear, and the internal loops we create, so that we can truly understand how best to evolve from them.
—Kansas Carradine, star of Cavalia , the Equestrian Cirque du Soleil

Dedication
Transforming Anxiety is dedicated to the millions of people experiencing increasing levels of worry and anxiety in these rapidly changing times. Anxiety is an understandable response to change and uncertainty, but it can be progressively managed and transformed. From the power of your own heart’s intent, you can learn to diminish anxiety reactions as they happen and rebalance your system more quickly after anxiety overload. And, with practice, you can increasingly prevent getting overloaded, especially by some of the same old situations.
At the pace that stress is increasing in the world, neither technology nor other people will be able to free you from anxiety and stress, because it’s an individual, inside job. Often people try to practice less stressful attitudes but are still overcome by the weight of a situation. Our intent is to make it easier for you to light a new fire in your commitments to stick with less stressful attitudes and responses to life’s challenges. The power to do so is within the intelligence of your own heart, which you already own. Often, to connect with the depth and strength of your heart’s intelligence, you need hope. The tools provided in this book are designed to help you build your own hope as you go, which is empowerment in action.
