'The only book on anxiety you'll ever need' Mark Williams, Emeritus Professor of Clinical Psychology, University of Oxford
We are living through one of the most anxious periods any of us can remember.
Whether facing issues as public as a pandemic and political upheaval or as personal as having kids at home fighting the urge to reach for the wine bottle every night, we are feeling overwhelmed and out of control.
But anxiety isn't only the feeling of worry or fear. It's also what drives the addictive behaviours and bad habits we use to cope (e.g. stress eating, procrastination, doomscrolling and social media).
In his timely book, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Judson Brewer explains how to uproot anxiety at its source. Using brain-based techniques and small hacks accessible to anyone, Brewer explains how to:
Map our brains to understand and discover our triggers
Defuse triggers with simple but powerful practices and exercises
Train our brains using mindfulness to rewire bad habits and reduce stress
Build long-term emotional resilience and a healthier relationship with your mind
Drawing on 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 offers a clear, actionable programme that anyone can use to feel better - no matter how anxious they feel.
