Jason Frasca ，

Overall a powerful read。 I greatly enjoyed this， with its focus on anxiety， its roots， and ways to reframe and use it as a tool to transform our thought processes and ultimately actions。 Rather than avoiding anxiety， embrace it！ An example includes the “sailboat” analogy， describing how as a sailboat needs wind， the brain-body needs outside encouragement。 The author successful demonstrates throughout the read the difference between rational fear and anxiety， and ways to utilize these feelings。 I Overall a powerful read。 I greatly enjoyed this， with its focus on anxiety， its roots， and ways to reframe and use it as a tool to transform our thought processes and ultimately actions。 Rather than avoiding anxiety， embrace it！ An example includes the “sailboat” analogy， describing how as a sailboat needs wind， the brain-body needs outside encouragement。 The author successful demonstrates throughout the read the difference between rational fear and anxiety， and ways to utilize these feelings。 I highly recommend to all who experience anxiety （which one could argue we all do at some point）， and/or for those trying to better understand the emotion and feeling in friends and family。 Those vying for anxiety-provoking careers and training also would benefit from this read as it helps discern tangible steps to understand anxiety and use it for good。 Thank you NetGalley for my free copy。 The comments above are my own without influence。 。。。more

I won this copy from the， GOODREADS GIVEAWAY。When I started reading this book I was not in a good frame of mind。 My anxiety levels were at the highest they've ever been。 So， I found myself having trouble focusing。 But over the weeks I persevered。 Boy am I glad I did。 This wonderful book helped me better understand my emotions and how my brain worked at sorting or not sorting out my issues。 And it has given me the tools to look at anxiety from different perspectives; from negativity and hopelessn I won this copy from the， GOODREADS GIVEAWAY。When I started reading this book I was not in a good frame of mind。 My anxiety levels were at the highest they've ever been。 So， I found myself having trouble focusing。 But over the weeks I persevered。 Boy am I glad I did。 This wonderful book helped me better understand my emotions and how my brain worked at sorting or not sorting out my issues。 And it has given me the tools to look at anxiety from different perspectives; from negativity and hopelessness to positivity and progress。Dr。 Suzuki's caring and compassion is felt all through the read。 It is very comforting。 In Part Three of the book there are tools to teach us how to worry well。 （ That made me smile。） These tools are FABULOUS！ There are surveys to help you discover your levels of anxiety， depth of anxiety， and triggers。 These are followed by， YOUR GOOD ANXIETY TOOLBOX， which is filled with lots of great information on how to minister self help and open the door to your emotional Superpowers。I highly recommend this book。 It helped lift me and gave me tools to use for when I am struggling again。 。。。more
