<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>World-renowned neuroscientist and author of <i>Healthy Brain, Happy Life </i>explains how to harness the power of anxiety into unexpected gifts.</b> <p/>We are living in the age of anxiety, a situation that often makes us feel as if we are locked into an endless cycle of stress, sleeplessness, and worry. But what if we had a way to leverage our anxiety to help us solve problems and fortify our wellbeing? What if, instead of seeing anxiety as a curse, we could recognize it for the unique gift that it is? <p/>Dr. Wendy Suzuki has discovered a paradigm-shifting truth about anxiety: yes, it is uncomfortable, but it is also essential for our survival. In fact, anxiety is a key component of our ability to live optimally. Every emotion we experience has an evolutionary purpose, and anxiety is designed to draw our attention to vulnerability. If we simply approach it as something to <i>avoid</i>, <i>get rid of</i>, or <i>dampen</i>, we actually miss an opportunity to improve our lives. Listening to our anxieties from a place of curiosity, and without fear, can actually guide us onto a path that leads to joy. <p/>Drawing on her own intimate struggles and based on cutting-edge research, Dr. Suzuki has developed an inspiring guidebook for managing unwarranted anxiety and turning it into a powerful asset. In the tradition of <i>Quiet </i>and <i>Thinking, Fast and Slow</i>, <i>Good Anxiety</i> has the power to permanently change how we understand anxiety and, more importantly, how we can use it to improve our lives for the better.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"An essential guide, with tips on coping mechanisms as well as training techniques for communication and productivity for anyone who finds themselves suffering from anxiety, stress, or a case of the 'what-ifs.'"-- "Fortune"<br><br>"Suzuki draws on decades of neuroscience, including her own research, and leavens her learning with a little personal storytelling to create a practical, science-backed guidebook for those seeking such a transformation." -- "Wall Street Journal"<br><br>"The book contains surveys and strategies to help people assess and even befriend their anxiety.
