Book Description
Who is the Anxiety bloke?My name is Bradley Allan, I have issues, lots of bloody issues.I am a married 39-year-old father of 3.I am not a writer, in fact I flunked English at school and this is the first thing I've ever put effort into when it comes to writing.The thought of writing down my feelings and issues is overwhelming but at the same time is already making me feel like I have a sense of purpose.For many years I had no idea or understanding why I acted and felt like I did and was not just scared of how I acted and felt but also embarrassed, speaking up was just not an option and I felt very much alone.Over the years I have read many books on anxiety and mental health, but very few actually made me feel like I understood what the writer is really saying and I felt like I just couldn't relate to them, in reality they are mostly the same text book approach that I've read over and over where I give up reading and the book is thrown with the rest of my failed purchases.I find it very frustrating that someone can write a book on Anxiety because they have studied it but never experienced or felt it.I have attended multiple counselling sessions, listened to dozens of self-help apps on my phone, viewed dozens of hypnoses on YouTube but yet I am still the same person and often living my daily nightmare.I have tried CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) which did help but like most things my head and train of thought soon over ruled it, perhaps if I had tried it before I got to the level of Anxiety I have it may have worked better for me, if it works for you great but we are all different when it comes to coping and conquering.I do believe CBT has its place and I will cover how it went for me and how I tweaked what I learned to help me personally. I have searched for books and articles for many years to give me that cure or at least where I could relate to what I was reading but it was the same text book type stories and the same ways on how we should cope, that would be great if we were Robots and all made the same but we are not.When I told my family, I was writing a book they laughed and said you can barely write a Facebook post that makes sense never mind a book about Anxiety.Virtually every book I have read on Anxiety is either complicated and fries my head or is just plain dam boring.... that is what has fuelled this book in the first place.Over the years many people have asked me what can I have to worry about and why would I suffer anxiety, there is no reason, I just have it. Simple.I look and act just like most guys or at least I try and acts like most guys.Front the outside I am pretty powerfully built guy having enjoyed lifting weight for quite a few years, I have lots of tattoos and I can come across as a bit of a character but I can also be very weak and crippled with issues when anxiety grips hold of me and takes control.People often say how confident I come across and when anxiety isn't present in my head I actually can be a pretty confident person in the right situation.It took me a long time to understand my anxiety and just how far it would push me, not many people realise but anxiety is a medical condition and you do need to treat and understand it just like any illness, just how you do that varies from person to person but I hope this book even hopes a little bit towards that.Anxiety is not a sign of weakness, as many people think and can actually be a sign of strength. More often people with anxiety will soldier on for months or many years before seeking treatment, I know I certainly did and for such a long time was almost oblivious to just how crazy my life had become.Google has millions of articles on Anxiety but they seldom helped me, I like real world talk and real-world scenarios and that is the aim of this book.

Book Description
You're anxious all the time, experiencing panic attacks over and over, and maybe afraid to leave your house or to be left alone for even a few minutes.. You are avoiding simple things like driving, eating in restaurants, attending family functions, or going to the supermarket. You are terrified of the next wave of anxiety or the next panic attack. Your anxiety problems are ruining your relationships, your family life, and your career. Your anxiety problems have you afraid, confused, lost, and feeling hopeless. How did you get here? What went wrong? You've tried so many things, but nothing has cured your anxiety? What can you do now? The Anxious Truth is a step-by-step guide to understanding and overcoming the anxiety problems that have plagued you for so long. This book, written by a former anxiety sufferer, best-selling author of "An Anxiety Story", and host of the The Anxious Truth podcast will walk you through exactly how you got to where you are today, why you are not broken or ill, and what the true nature of your anxiety disorder is. Next, the book will walk you through what it takes to solve your anxiety problems, how to make an anxiety recovery plan, then how to correctly execute that plan. The Anxious Truth isn't always what you want to hear, but it's what you NEED to hear in order to solve this problem once and for all and move toward the life you so desperately want. Based firmly on the principles of cognitive behavioral therapies that have been shown over decades to be most effective in treating anxiety problems, the Anxious Truth will teach you how to move past your anxiety symptoms, past endless digging for hidden "root causes", and into an action oriented plan that will help your brain un-learn the bad reaction and fear habits that have gotten you into this predicament. The Anxious Truth will take the cognitive mechanism that got you into a corner, throw it in reverse, and use it to your advantage, backing you out of this jam and into a life free from irrational fear and needless avoidance. More than just a book, The Anxious Truth goes hand-in-hand with The Anxious Truth podcast (https://theanxioustruth.com) and the growing and vibrant social media community surrounding it. Read the book, listen to five years worth of free podcasts chock full of helpful advice and information, and join a large online community of fellow anxiety sufferers that are done talking about this problem and ready to actually take action to solve it. Change is possible. No matter how long you've suffered with your anxiety issues, you can get better. The Anxious Truth will tell you what you need to hear and will arm you with the information, understanding, and skills you need to get the job done. Let's do this together!

Book Description
From physician and neuroscientist Russell Kennedy, MD comes an award-winning book that offers a revolutionary, life-changing approach to healing anxiety. Break the cycle of anxiety with the newly upgraded and expanded second edition. After years of trying different therapies for his debilitating anxiety without success, Dr. Russell Kennedy had an epiphany: anxiety does not start in the brain. Anxiety starts in the body, where trauma is stored and physical and emotional perception begin. Alarm bells originating in the body are what trigger those anxious thoughts that we call anxiety, and Russ realized that true healing starts only when we learn not to conflate the two. He understood that existing therapies focused only on the mind would never get to the root of the problem—at best, they could help manage symptoms, but they’d never truly heal anxiety. Wanting to make a difference for the millions who suffer from anxiety disorder, Russ created Anxiety Rx, a book that blends his personal story with medical science, neuroscience, and developmental psychology. Readers learn how to sever the connection between the somatic alarm and the flood of anxious thoughts—in the process they begin to heal old trauma and gain a sense of control previously unknown. Russ offers techniques not only for our thinking minds, but for our feeling bodies, changing not just our mindset, but our “body-set.” Unraveling the intricate relationship between anxiety, the body, and the mind, Anxiety Rx offers a profound path toward healing and growth.

Book Description
An instant #1 New York Times bestseller, the new novel from the author of A Man Called Ove is a “quirky, big-hearted novel….Wry, wise, and often laugh-out-loud funny, it’s a wholly original story that delivers pure pleasure” (People). Looking at real estate isn’t usually a life-or-death situation, but an apartment open house becomes just that when a failed bank robber bursts in and takes a group of strangers hostage. The captives include a recently retired couple who relentlessly hunt down fixer-uppers to avoid the painful truth that they can’t fix their own marriage. There’s a wealthy bank director who has been too busy to care about anyone else and a young couple who are about to have their first child but can’t seem to agree on anything. Add to the mix an eighty-seven-year-old woman who has lived long enough not to be afraid of someone waving a gun in her face, a flustered but still-ready-to-make-a-deal real estate agent, and a mystery man who has locked himself in the apartment’s only bathroom, and you’ve got the worst group of hostages in the world. Each of them carries a lifetime of grievances, hurts, secrets, and passions that are ready to boil over. None of them is entirely who they appear to be. And all of them—the bank robber included—desperately crave some sort of rescue. As the authorities and the media surround the premises, these reluctant allies will reveal surprising truths about themselves and set in motion a chain of events so unexpected that even they can hardly explain what happens next. Proving once again that Backman is “a master of writing delightful, insightful, soulful, character-driven narratives” (USA TODAY), Anxious People “captures the messy essence of being human….It’s clever and affecting, as likely to make you laugh out loud as it is to make you cry” (The Washington Post). This “endlessly entertaining mood-booster” (Real Simple) is proof that the enduring power of friendship, forgiveness, and hope can save us—even in the most anxious of times.

Book Description
Do you ever wonder what is happening inside your brain when you feel anxious, panicked, and worried? In Rewire Your Anxious Brain, psychologist Catherine Pittman and author Elizabeth Karle offer a unique, evidence-based solution to overcoming anxiety based in cutting-edge neuroscience and research. In the book, you will learn how the amygdala and cortex (both important parts of the brain) are essential players in the neuropsychology of anxiety. The amygdala acts as a primal response, and oftentimes, when this part of the brain processes fear, you may not even understand why you are afraid. By comparison, the cortex is the center of “worry.” That is, obsessing, ruminating, and dwelling on things that may or may not happen. In the book, Pittman and Karle make it simple by offering specific examples of how to manage fear by tapping into both of these pathways in the brain. As you read, you’ll gain a greater understanding how anxiety is created in the brain, and as a result, you will feel empowered and motivated to overcome it. The brain is a powerful tool, and the more you work to change the way you respond to fear, the more resilient you will become. Using the practical self-assessments and proven-effective techniques in this book, you will learn to literally “rewire” the brain processes that lie at the root of your fears.
