comprehensive book to overcome fear of flying.......2007-09-13
This is the best book on fear of flying on the market today. As a phobia counselor, I have purchased this book over and over again for people to read. The book addresses the psychological reasons for the fear of flying in a well written, understandable manner. Then it gives wonderful tips for how to handle the anxiety from that fear whether it be wanting to be in control, claustrophobia, height phobia or fear of crashing. The second part of the book is written by a pilot who explains everything anyone would want to know about how a plane flies, turbulence, what the noises are, etc. The more a fearful flyer knows about his reactions to his fear the better off he/she will be. This book covers it all.
The Complete Package.......2007-05-19
For international buyers, just note that the author is speaking to an American audience. Most of his statements are in the context of the US Airline industry. Although his claims might be more difficult to apply in your local context, generally, they should hold true for most major airlines across the world.
Nevertheless, Flying Without Fear is a complete package. It builds its thesis by letting you understand the physiological nature of your fear and providing you with techniques to cope with them, specifically in relation to pre-flight anxiety. The techniques he provides are very, very effective. In fact, you can apply them to other stressful situations in your life. :)
It then provides you with a very detailed FAQ on how the airline industry guarantees your safety - from pilots, to flight crew, mechanics and air traffic controllers - which most likely will alleviate all your worries. After which, the author provides another detailed FAQ on the science of flight. Both chapters will hopefully dispel all irrational beliefs that produce the anxiety.
EXCELLENT!! Life Changing...literally.......2007-01-09
I have always been terrified of flying. Because of this fear I have passed up countless trips around the world, with people I very much enjoy, because I could not handle the thought of being in the air. Nothing else helped, and I wasn't thrilled about taking medication to fly. This book changed my life. It is packed with comprehensive facts, practical relaxation techniques, explainations, etc. The author tells you about every noise you might hear, what each beep and light means, and offers comforting statistics. I even read the book aloud and recorded it to take onto the plane during take off and was immediatly comforted. I read this book a year ago and have since flown 9 TIMES! My friend has also read and used this book with wonderful results. All without sweaty palms and bulging eyes. This book was a godsend and I highly recommend it to anyone whose life is being put on hold because of a simple fear....and it really is a simple fear once you learn to control it. BUY IT!
I had sworn off flying for almost 6 years, until..........2006-05-10
This book is amazing. I used to have paralyzing nightmares about plane crashes and had given up flying for almost 6 years. I swore to never fly again. I picked up this book, almost 2 months later I have flown 4 times and it gets easier each time. Please buy it..It's amazing I am telling you!
Only cured while I'm reading the book..........2006-05-03
This is actually a pretty good book, but it hasn't helped me overcome my fears. When I have anxiety about a flight - usually months in advance - I'll pick up this book and it helps. It doesn't help while I'm on the plane though. Of course, that's no fault of the book.
The most helpful aspect of the book is learning that many, many people share my fear and irrational thoughts.
I'd say that if you're like me, and have extreme fear of flying, this book really isn't going to help you.

Customer Reviews:
Finally relaxed.......2007-08-07
I listened to the entire CD throughout my last 5-hour flight and was delighted about the effect it had on me - I was actually relaxed. Whenever turbulence would rock the plane, I would go back to a specific section that helped me relax and go through the breathing exercise. I can only recommend this CD if you are anxious during and even before the flight (there is a great section to prepare for your flight while you are still at home).
You just can't go wrong!.......2007-07-31
An absolute must have for those suffering from aviatophobia (fear of flying). I bought this cd about a week before my flight and I didn't start using it until the day before my flight. I took it with me and listened to it while waiting to board the plane, waiting for take-off, in-flight and landing. It was excellent! I just downloaded it into my IPod and listened to each track as I needed. The total CD is about 73 minutes but just listen to the track that you need the most and repeat it as needed. It totally soothed my nerves and calmed me down. For the first time, I didn't feel my stomach in my throat! I highly recommend it!
Great CD.......2007-05-14
I really enjoyed this cd...I have taken a fear of flying course which was great but this CD was just something extra to support how safe flying really is and I felt even more relaxed and confident after listening to this CD...I def. recommend it!
Excellent guidance.......2006-07-22
I've used KRS'CD for pre-flight and on-flight jitters. This CD is one of the best relaxation aids I've found for flying discomfort. The meditations are right-on, every sentence supporting the strength we have inside, while dissipating nervousness. I love her voice and her no-nonsense style.
Highly recommended!
MESMERIC & MEDITATIONAL!.......2006-04-07
What could be easier than popping the CD into the player, sitting back and relaxing. KRS has a confident soothing voice and the background music helps to keep things calm. For those of us with flying anxieties, FLY WITHOUT FEAR is a great tool to help settle the nerves.
Customer Reviews:
ok.......2007-05-14
This book was alright but there are def better choices...check out the fear of flying website...
Best of its kind.......2005-12-30
I have looked at all of them--being a frequent flyer myself--and this one is defenitely the best in the bunch. Well rounded, and well written. If you have to make a choice, I'd go with this one. Enjoy.
excellent advice here.......2005-12-30
This is a very well rounded general book for the nervous flyer -- of which I am one. It is reassuring and knowledgeable. The part that deals with the fear itself is extremely helpful. And the practical hints are handy tool. I have gone back to Hartman's soothing voice many times and have become a much more confident and relaxed traveler as a result. I recommend it.
More like "Flying for Dummies".......2002-03-13
If you have never flown, haven't flown for years, or haven't flown much but circumstances dictate you will fly a lot in the future, this is a good book to read. It contains a lot of very basic-yet useful-information for the novice flyer. There's a lot of info about basic rules for luggage, clearing security, where to fly on planes, handling general flying SNAFU's and hassles and so on.
What there isn't a lot of is useful information about dealing with the "fear of flying" syndrome. If you have mild anxiety due to unfamiliarity or uncertainty about the overall experience, this book is helpful. If you fear is more along the lines of a phobia, this book is useless.
From a general information standpoint the book deserves more than 2 stars, but the title is so misleading I had to dock it stars, mainly because I think a lot of people are buying this for information it just doesn't contain. Flying for Dummies or What You Need to Know About Flying A to Z would have been more honest, accurate title choices.
Making Peace with Planes and Fear of Flying.......2001-12-20
I am one of those people who had a dread of flying my whole life. I did it, but I hated it, and it took a lot out of me. Especially after a long flight, I was done in for days. This book was extremely helpful in getting me beyond my fear of flying.
By following the exercises in the book, I have been able to retool my attitude to flying. I do a refresher before each flight. I can now work while traveling on a plane--something that would
have been inconceivable before because I was so fearful and distracted. Now, I can even sleep on a plane--also previously
inconceivable. But even more amazing to me, if I sit by the window I can enjoy looking out at the amazing views of mountains, rivers,
fields, or cities by night.
The quality of my life has been vastly improved by being able to fly without high anxiety since it's difficult to live a normal life and never travel by plane. This book also offers excellent information about choosing seats, how to deal with bothersome seat mates, how not to get dehydrated, etc., all things that I can now
turn my attention to.
This is an excellent book--the best I've found
on the subject. Plus, it's beautifully produced with arty and amusing drawings.
Customer Reviews:
Good introduction into aircraft stress analysis.......2001-08-03
This book does an excellent job of explaining some of the fundamentals of aircraft stress analysis and gives the reader a better idea of where to go for more detailed information. Not enough detail is provide to give a beginner enough knowledge to do a real analysis because things are simplified. The title is appropriate. If someone wants to do real stress analysis on aircraft, they probably need an engineering background and a book like Analysis and Design of Flight Vehicle Structures by E.F. Bruhn.
Book Description
Nervous flyer? Want to be more relaxed next time you fly? Then Captain Keith Godfrey welcomes you on board and takes you through everything that happens from take-off to touch-down in a simple but informative way.

Book Description
Sensible Harriet has to rescue silly Winnie from the clutches of Mr. Johnson, who Winnie fails to recognize as a fox. Never were two chickens more different than Harriet and Winnie. Harriet kept busy with many hobbies, while flighty Winnie was often bored. So when that sly fox Mr. Johnson happened by Winnie's garden, she couldn't resist the chance to live a little and climbed into the basket of his balloon. Now it's up to Harriet to save her foolish friend from Mr. Johnson's fricassee potand there are chases galore, hairsbreadth escapes, clever disguises, and lots more tomfoolery before she does. James Marshall's clever wit and lively sense of the absurd keep this hilarious romp rollicking along from start to cliff-hanging finish.

Good for a giggle........2003-09-22
This book entertains, points out the importance of reading, and makes you laugh out loud.
What a great push for reading!.......2000-06-23
An excellent book for teaching the importance of reading and gaining an awareness of simlarities in plot. Poor Winnie learns that she may the next 'stuffed chicken for dinner' as a result of not wanting to read a famous tale. The story takes the reader on a rollercoaster of 'what-ifs' and creates wonderful moments for predicting text. I will be using this story for numerous lessons in my classroom, from developing a sense of story to partner predictions. Excellent illustrations, too!

It'll Make You Smile.......2007-10-05
If you have a mother, you should buy her this book. If she doesn't need it today, she'll need it one day.
Loved this book!.......2007-09-27
This book was very uplifting and fun, not to mention assuring me I'm not alone during these strange years!
Great!.......2007-09-25
I loved reading the short stories. Some hit the nail on the head so to say and others I just laughed out loud.
Chicken Soup for the Soul in Menopause.......2007-09-01
A book that validates the numerous mental and physical signs and symptoms of menopause in a gentle and humorous way. A must not only for the soul im menopause but for her sons, daughters, and husbands! It's my Christmas gift to all my forever "50" friends this year! Karen Alexander
Must read!.......2007-08-31
This is a "must read" book for every woman, whether young or old. Until talking with other women I didn't know what to expect. Reading this book would have prepared me before experiencing menopause. The added humor of it all made me look at my own trying times. This book made me laugh so hard that I cried. Recommend it to your friends, sisters, relatives, and anyone else going through this phase of life.
Customer Reviews:
Hot combinations.......2004-06-04
A real international adventure, this book is organized by techniques - cold salads and hot soup; grilled; in woks and saute pans; crisp and golden from the oven, braises and stews.In between are cooking, storage and safety tips.
Each recipe is presented in two sections; advance preparation and final cooking and concludes with suggested accompaniments. It's hard to turn to a page and not find something to cook. On the grill there's Cowboy Chicken with Ancho Chile Rub or Sizzling Rosemary Mustard Chicken. In the wok, Mongolian Chicken combines tangerine juice with hoisin sauce and hazelnuts and a Creole Tomato Cream Sauce accompanies a chicken saute.
A roasted chicken combines a citrus marinade with winter vegetables and the braised Chicken with Rosemary-Merlot sauce also uses winter vegetables. Asian ingredients from curry and chile to hoisin and oyster sauce meld with more familiar European and Latin flavors - familiar herbs, fruits and wine in unusual combinations that beg to be tried.
Another great cookbook from this duo........2001-03-21
Hot Chicken, Hot Pasta, Hot BBQ- I own all 3 of these and have broken the bindings I use so often. If you like a little spice in your life and more in your meals- you can't go wrong. Great recipies and they tell you how to cook as well. I have about 25 cook books and these 3 are the only ones that are easy to reach.
Amazing & Delicious.......2001-01-08
A friend gave me one in the series and it is brilliant. The recipes are not the same old boring ingredients. These recipes are not hot, they are creative, exciting and a delight to serve. In all 4 books, we haven't found one we didn't like. In a kitchen with over 200 cookbooks, we use them all the time to please ourselves and dazzle our guests.
Not a bad recipe in the whole book........1999-11-05
I have a lot of cookbooks, but I tend to fall back on the Hot Chicken cookbook regularly. For a while, I was making my way through the book with an event I called "Friends Thursday". I'd invite different friends over and make one of the dishes from the book. If they were the kind of friends who watched "Friends" we'd set up TV tables and cozy up to the show. If not, I'd socialize over dinner and then watch "Friends" on videotape afterward. I slowly made my way through every recipe in the book.
Hugh never ceases to amaze..........1999-09-09
Hot Chicken is terrific. Preparing Hugh's recipes and enjoying the mouthwatering flavors and textures is a true culinary experience! Teri's photos are beautiful and creative. His tips for advance preparation make this perfect for entertaining. Hugh never ceases to amaze...
