GOOD ANXIETY
Harnessing the Power of the Most Misunderstood Emotion
In this book, Dr. Suzuki uses new and established neuroscience to help readers harness their fears to feel better, think better and do better.
18% of the population - about 40 million people - suffer from clinical anxiety disorders. However, formal diagnoses merely scratch the surface of anxiety's impact. Hundreds of millions suffer from everyday, low-level, non-clinical anxiety.
Popular science posits that this low-level anxiety is new to the human condition and detrimental to our health, wellbeing, and performance. But what if our preoccupation with avoiding anxiety is costing us something? What if we could harness anxiety into the superpower that it could be?
In Good Anxiety, Dr. Wendy Suzuki unpacks the cutting-edge science that will help readers channel their anxiety for positive outcomes. It will bring them energy and focus, fuel their performance, and enhance their ability to make productive, effective decisions. The presence of directed anxiety can become infinitely more valuable than its total absence.
Accessible, insightful, and life-changing, Good Anxiety will transform our understanding and experience of anxiety forever.
Dr. Wendy Suzuki is a Professor of Neural Science and Psychology in the Center for Neural Science at New York University and a celebrated international authority on neuroplasticity. She was recently named one of the ten women changing the way we see the world by Good Housekeeping and regularly serves as a sought-after expert for publications including The Wall Street Journal, Shape, and Health. Her TED talk has more than 31 million views on Facebook and was the 2nd most viewed TED talk of 2018. She is the author of Good Anxiety and Healthy Brain, Happy Life.
