Description
Anxiety is a growing epidemic, and most of us assume that the key to overcoming it is to think our way out. But for many, anxiety returns, no matter how hard we try to escape it. In "Beyond Anxiety", Dr. Martha Beck explains why anxiety is on the rise, and how to break free from its grip. Dr. Beck reveals that our brains can get stuck in an "anxiety spiral", a feedback system that can increase anxiety indefinitely. To escape, we need to engage different parts of our nervous system - the parts involved in creativity. By doing so, we can shut down anxiety and discover innovative problem-solving, a sense of meaning and purpose, and joyful connections with others and the world. This book offers a new path to overcoming anxiety, one that combines the latest neuroscience with Dr. Beck's background in sociology and coaching. By following her guidance, readers can transform their lives and become a source of healing for themselves and those around them.
