Rating: - Excellent
I was throughly pleased with this purchase. What I like the most is the research that went into explaining why you would have a phobia about math.
Rating: - Among Professionals Too!
I haven't read all of this book. But what I have read I've found instructive, and helpful. I would like to add or reemphasize the following. Math anxiety doesn't just among laypeople, students, high school students, upper level students, and graduate students. It exists among professional mathematicians also.

I am grateful that Sheila Tobias opened up the issue of math anxiety a generation ago. She influenced me to become more aware of what was going on in the minds of my students, particularly at the developmental level.

Rating: - A wonderful book! Finally, I have conquered my math block.
An excellent book! I credit this book, when used along with a college course about math anxiety, with removing my lifelong (40 yrs) math block. Now I know that I'm just as smart as anyone else who can do math -- there are just different ways to look at it! And now that I no longer view math as "hard", I can actually do it -- and I am amazed to say that I actually enjoy it! By the way, although the book may sound specifically aimed at females, I am a male and found it very relevant and ... Read More
