Summary

A step-by-step plan clinically proven to break the cycle of worry and fear that drives anxiety and addictive habits

We are living through one of the most anxious periods any of us can remember。 Whether facing issues as public as a pandemic or as personal as having kids at home and fighting the urge to reach for the wine bottle every night, we are feeling overwhelmed and out of control。 But in this timely book, Judson Brewer explains how to uproot anxiety at its source using brain-based techniques and small hacks accessible to anyone。

We think of anxiety as everything from mild unease to full-blown panic。 But it's also what drives the addictive behaviors and bad habits we use to cope (e。g。 stress eating, procrastination, doom scrolling and social media)。 Plus, anxiety lives in a part of the brain that resists rational thought。 So we get stuck in anxiety habit loops that we can't think our way out of or use willpower to overcome。 Dr。 Brewer teaches us map our brains to discover our triggers, defuse them with the simple but powerful practice of curiosity, and to train our brains using mindfulness and other practices that his lab has proven can work。

Distilling more than 20 years of research and hands-on work with thousands of patients, including Olympic athletes and coaches, and leaders in government and business, Dr。 Brewer has created a clear, solution-oriented program that anyone can use to feel better - no matter how anxious they feel。

Information is powerAs you read the book title it says "how to break the cycles of worry and fear to heal your mind" and you have to know that I tried listening to a lot of podcasts, read self-help books and interact with my peers on the internet about our swirling darkness of depression, anxiety, and impending death。 I must say it helped a bit but it didn't last long。 It wasn't the solution I was truly looking for。This book dwells in science and relies on facts about how our minds are wired and Information is powerAs you read the book title it says "how to break the cycles of worry and fear to heal your mind" and you have to know that I tried listening to a lot of podcasts, read self-help books and interact with my peers on the internet about our swirling darkness of depression, anxiety, and impending death。 I must say it helped a bit but it didn't last long。 It wasn't the solution I was truly looking for。This book dwells in science and relies on facts about how our minds are wired and how it works。 It bought clarity to the wonderments I had which were comforting and reassuring。 Not only does this book answer our questions but also gives a detailed guide to maneuver or control our mind to reshape or relearn our habitual behaviors concerning anxiety and depression。 I hope it gets attention and serves its purpose in helping people who are suffering from anxiety and depression。 。。。more
