Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

My name is Dr. Robert Duff. I’m a psychologist from Southern California and I think that the field of mental health has a big problem. It is scary and intimidating. Why? When you are already struggling with emotional difficulties, the last thing that you need is some huge psychobabble manual thrown at you. My specialty is taking complex psychological issues and breaking them down into plain language.

There are several facets to the work that I do. My normal “day job” is as a practicing psychologist in private practice where I do in-person and online psychotherapy as well as neuropsychological assessment (basically testing for memory, attention, reasoning etc.). I am also the best selling author of the Hardcore Self Help book series, which includes books “F**k Anxiety” and “F**K Depression”. These are self-help books for people that normally hate self-help books. Along the same lines, I host a weekly podcast in which I take mental health questions from the audience and interview interesting guests. Finally, I am also a Youtube entertainer, where I share psychology, mental health, and lifestyle videos.

If you suffer from anxiety or panic attacks, don't even hesitate, just purchase this book. I wish I had it ages ago but I'm glad I've gotten my hands on it now. I've been suffering from absolutely debilitating anxiety and panic attacks as of recently, and this book has done a great deal in helping me. It's far from your normal, bland self help book. It kept me engaged. And it really moved me and made me feel less isolated. It was extremely comforting. And not to mention it's nice to be able to get some laughs in as well. Incredibly written and helpful to anyone out there suffering. Made me feel quite hopeful and relaxed. I'll definitely be recommending this to any friends experiencing similar issues.

At four bucks I felt I got my moneys worth, but not alot more. This is more of an extended pamphlet on anxiety.

That being said, I think I would recommend this booklet to others, this booklet covers alot of the basics, and is short, simple and easy to digest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Have anxiety? This is an essential.
Reviewed in Canada on December 23, 2016

The book doesn't try to sugar coat anything. You feel like it's just your chill friend being honest. It explains things one might not even realize is a problem or a contributing factor to the anxiety. I've read it multiple times now and it always helps. It's a small book you can get through in an hour or two and feel better afterwards. The author explains ways that anxiety works and tries to control you and how to combat them in ways that are so simple and so beneficial but I personally hadn't thought of until reading the book. My own has many pages highlighted and bookmarked. The book has been more than helpful to me to deal with the many new situations I've had to deal with in these past few months to control my anxiety as it happened in the moment.

My doctor recommended that I read this book. It's honestly a bit crude for my taste. I think it's better suited for older teens/young adults. I have yet to finish it.

The tone is casual and the book short and succinct. I honestly believe men think differently than women as a whole, and this book will appeal to men more than others. That said, women can find value in it as well.

Reviewed in Canada on April 24, 2016

This book was everything I had hoped it would be, and more. It felt more like you were getting advice from a friend who knew what was going on, than from a stuffy self-help book that told you how you should be feeling. I read this book in one sitting, and then went back to it the next day to mark off pages that I really want to focus on. I strongly recommend this book to anyone looking for the first step in tackling their anxiety; it left me feeling very inspired and ready to get better.

I felt this book to be more like a friend. It was a great read. Not the information powerhouse like a encyclopaedia of anxiety, it’s more like a good talk with someone close to you who has a deep understanding of what anxiety is.

5.0 out of 5 stars No nonsense guide to anxiety
Reviewed in Australia on January 31, 2017

I really needed to read this after multiple hard to digest anxiety self help books. Like a breath of fresh air. It feels like getting advice from someone who could easily be your best mate. Robert does some fantastic podcasts on his website that are worth listening to also. Unfortunately breathing exercises have never helped with my anxiety to date. I've found it more helpful recently to stop focusing on my breathing so I can let my body breathe the way it's supposed to mainly because I was becoming too fixated on it. You know, how's my breathing? Too fast? Too slow? Am I feeling anxious? Constantly 'checking in' and then getting more worried. I'm pretty sure I forgot how to just breathe. I find that tensing various muscle groups systematically helps more than deep breathing at least for me anyway.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank you, Robert.

I definitely could have read this in one day, it doesn't have page numbers, but I know it's not that long. I counted 58 pages of the actual self-help part, the part you [usually] read. I read everything in it though, even the "thank you" page, where I found myself writing out, "Thank YOU, Robert". (Yes, I'm one of THOSE people, when reading something I can learn from, like when I was in college, I write little notes in the book, and dog ear, too... *GASP*) (I can take it in better that way, that's how I learn.)

But I wanted to read it slower, read/learn at my own pace, and just take this journey slow.

I've never read a self-help book, ever, just not really my thing personally. I love novels, that's my thing, fiction. To read and to write, to have and to hold. I love reading fiction about mental illness, especially anxiety and depression, but also other ones I'm not as familiar with. It's interesting to me, to see how it's portrayed in a fictional way. (We need more of it, but I'm trying to read as many as I can find.) (And maybe write some of my own as well.)

I've suffered with general anxiety (and other types within it, like some social anxiety, etc.), so when I knew this book existed, I felt this need to get it and read it right away. I wouldn't have gotten it otherwise, obviously. When, in fiction, I'm willing to learn more about other illnesses, this was completely a personal choice to buy, read slow, and learn more about one of the things inside me. It's been really helpful to read and learn about.

I LOVE how this is written. Self-help books, in my opinion but I could be wrong, probably can be patronizing a little? Or sound like it. It's hard to find genuine help that talks to you in a way that doesn't make you feel like you're being talked down to. You know? And Dr. Robert Duff is that help for you. And he was for me.

Don't be put off by the swear in the title, and the swears in the book, it's within the tremendous amount of very useful and interesting information wherein he talks to you person to person, human to human, and not just doctor to patient.

He makes it all simple. He uses doctor terms and the stuff he knows, but says it and explains it in a way that you're going to understand so clearly. It's incredible. You don't feel like a therapist is writing it most of the time. And when the doctor things come up, you don't feel like he's talking down to you, or judging you. It's like he's just talking to you, as a human, and trying to help you. But in a comforting way. It's kind of hard to explain, this book really just changed me.

He uses real life scenarios, some of his own, some made up, to help his points across, and I'm very into that, because it's easier when imagining things to understand them more.

I could go on and on about how well-written and just amazing this book is, I really could, haha. It really helped me out. A lot of it I knew, of course, but a lot of it helped me learn even more. It was interesting, I loved feeling like I wasn't being talked down to or judged, and it just really helped me out.

I would recommend this to someone with anxiety, in any form, but I would also recommend this to someone who is friends with, or in any way involved with, someone with anxiety. It will help the person with anxiety and then help the person not with it to understand it more. (It even includes a letter you can actually give someone that helps them understand more, and it's perfectly written.)

We need more people to understand mental illness. And not in a judge-y/stigma-like way. Sure, it's an "invisible" illness, but that doesn't make it any less real. We just need more people to understand that.

Thank you, Robert.
