There's a newer book by the same author Dr Steve Peters > A Path through the Jungle (A Psychological Health and Wellbeing Programme to Develop Robustness and Resilience).

Also the NHS have trialled a headset (see link below) that seems promising for treating Depression and Anxiety and was mentioned on the BBC R5 Live today.

I should probably disclaim this as in I only heard about it on the Radio today, it has been trialled by the NHS, after reading more about it I remain skeptical, as I said Anxiety isn't something that can be cured. Anxiety disorders can be treated, normal Anxiety is fine and most humans suffer from Anxiety that is normal. When it becomes a disorder then it requires treatment, although as stated, current drug treatments for anxiety are generally very poor. (edited)
