UNWINDING ANXIETY
New Science Shows How to Break the Cycles of Worry and Fear to Heal Your Mind
Vanquish debilitating anxiety and procrastination. Improve health and fitness. Put down your screens. Quit smoking. A leading addiction psychiatrist shows how you can use the power of curiosity to help you live your best life.
Judson Brewer's UNWINDING ANXIETY offers a new way of understanding the emotional scourge of our time.
We are more anxious than ever before. Despite - perhaps because of - all the information at our fingertips, uncertainty rules. In this groundbreaking book, internationally renowned neuroscientist Judson Brewer helps us understand how anxiety drives our lives and gives us the tools we need to build better ones.
Anxiety manifests in various ways, from fear and vigilance, to outright panic attacks, to addictions, to bad habits we unconsciously use to manage it. But these habits never work because anxiety drives anxiety. The brain wants to maintain mood states because they are familiar, even if they are uncomfortable.
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, Brewer explains how to take simple steps to uproot anxiety at its source, using brain-based techniques accessible to all.
