Synopsis

Anxiety—it’s the worst: choking, stifling, smothering, tingling, panicking, brain cutting out, bad decisions. You’re a human being, so you know exactly what’s being said here. Dr. Faith lays it all out: what anxiety is, what it’s good for—that’s right, it’s actually a necessary response that helps to keep us alive in bad situations—how to know when it’s gone overboard, and practical tips on how to deal with it when it gets bad. This book is a lifesaver for panic attacks, breaking out of flight-or-fight-or-freeze responses, and for chronic anxiety. It’s also good for folks who aren’t daily burdened by anxiety, but want to better cope with those tough situations that affect us all. Read this and breathe!

Goodreads review by Cameron

Listened to this book this morning since the audiobook was only an hour. There were some helpful tips but the author tried so hard to be relatable it was distracting and cringey.
