A step-by-step plan clinically proven to break the cycle of worry and fear that drives anxiety and addictive habits

We are living through one of the most anxious periods any of us can remember. Whether facing issues as public as a pandemic or as personal as having kids at home and fighting the urge to reach for the wine bottle every night, we are feeling overwhelmed and out of control. But in this timely book, Judson Brewer explains how to uproot anxiety at its source using brain-based techniques and small hacks accessible to anyone.

We think of anxiety as everything from mild unease to full-blown panic. But it's also what drives the addictive behaviors and bad habits we use to cope (e.g. stress eating, procrastination, doom scrolling and social media). Plus, anxiety lives in a part of the brain that resists rational thought. So we get stuck in anxiety habit loops that we can't think our way out of or use willpower to overcome. Dr. Brewer teaches us to map our brains to discover our triggers, defuse them with the simple but powerful practice of curiosity, and to train our brains using mindfulness and other practices that his lab has proven can work.

Distilling 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 has created a clear, solution-oriented program that anyone can use to feel better - no matter how anxious they feel.

El libro que desvela las causas del colapso psicológico de la Generación Z

La salud mental de los niños y adolescentes se derrumba. Desde 2010, en los países desarrollados se ha observado un inquietante y pronunciado aumento en el número de jóvenes diagnosticados con ansiedad, depresión y otros trastornos psicológicos. Pero qué es lo que ha ocurrido?

El reputado psicólogo social y autor bestseller Jonathan Haidt ha dedicado su carrera a exponer verdades incómodas apoyadas en la evidencia científica dentro de los espacios más delicados: desde comunidades polarizadas por la política y la religión hasta campus universitarios enfrentados en guerras culturales.

En este nuevo libro, Haidt se ocupa de la emergencia de salud pública que afecta a los adolescentes. La generación que llegó a la pubertad alrededor de 2009 desarrolló su autopercepción en el marco de cambios tecnológicos y culturales profundos, como el uso extendido de los smartphones y de unas redes sociales adictivas. Como consecuencia de ello, les ha tocado crecer en una especie de mundo virtual sin interacciones con personas de carne y hueso; y mientras los adultos comenzaron a sobreproteger a esos niños en la vida real, los dejaron involuntariamente desamparados en el brutal universo online.

Haidt hace un claro llamado a la acción. Propone cuatro reglas sencillas que podrían liberarnos, describiendo los pasos que los padres, los maestros y los gobiernos pueden tomar para restaurar una infancia más humana.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The mental health of adolescents plunged in the early 2010s. Rates of depression, anxiety, self-harm, and suicide rose sharply. Why?

In La generación ansiosa, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt lays out the facts about the epidemic of teen mental illness. He investigates the nature of childhood, including why children need play and independent exploration to mature into competent, thriving adults. Haidt presents more than a dozen mechanisms by which this great rewiring of childhood has interfered with children's social and neurological development, covering everything from sleep deprivation to attention fragmentation, addiction, loneliness, social contagion, social comparison, and perfectionism.

Most important, Haidt issues a clear call to action. He proposes four simple rules that might set us free, describing steps that parents, teachers and governments can take to restore a more humane childhood.

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.

This works because it only takes 5 to 10 minutes of your time each day.

By taking a step closer to a worry-free life on a daily basis, you'll be able to make huge jumps in your career, strengthen your relationships, improve your finances, boost your health and begin to feel better about yourself.

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.

Proven-effective tools for when you feel like the world is closing in on you.

Anxiety has many faces. It can look like chronic avoidance, rumination, fear of uncertainty, reassurance seeking, catastrophic thinking, or fear of losing control.

But you don't have to. Written by psychologist and anxiety expert David A. Clark, this essential guide offers targeted, proven solutions to take charge of your anxiety--and your life.

This is What Anxiety Looks Like dives right into relatable case studies, using a story-based approach to help you overcome the 13 most common causes of anxiety, so you can live with less worry and fear.

Do you sometimes feel . . .

Down, depressed, or unhappy? Anxious, panicky, or insecure?

Guilty, inadequate, or worthless? Lonely, unwanted, or alone?

For decades, we've been told that negative feelings like depression and anxiety are the result of what's wrong with us, which creates feelings of shame and makes it sound like we're broken and need to be fixed. But what if we have it all backwards? What if our negative moods do not result from what's wrong with us but, rather, what's right with us?

This is the revolutionary mind shift you will find in Feeling Great. Written by Dr. David Burns, a pioneer of cognitive therapy and author of the national bestseller Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy, this book describes a groundbreaking high-speed treatment for depression and anxiety based on one simple notion: Our struggles actually reflect what is most beautiful about us. And when we can see our negative thoughts and feelings from this radically different perspective, recovery becomes possible--sometimes even in the blink of an eye!

Based on Dr. Burns's 40+ years of research and more than 40,000 hours treating individuals with severe mood issues, Feeling Great is filled with inspiring real-life case studies and more than 50 actionable tools to crush the negative thoughts that rob you of happiness and self-esteem. You can change the way you feel. In fact, you owe it to yourself to feel GREAT!

Anxiety has been glued to Haley Weaver's side since she was a child. Like most people, Weaver saw the constant what-ifs and worst-case scenarios that Anxiety whispered in her ear as an obstacle to her happiness. Maybe she could dump her anxiety at her therapist's office, or send it on a trip far, far away--anything to get rid of it for good. But over time she realized anxiety's true intention: to keep her safe. Could she learn to let it do its job but also figure out how to live without constant worry and fear?

This full-color, illustrated memoir stars Haley and Anxiety (as themselves) and showcases their complicated but ultimately uplifting relationship. It also introduces readers to the helpful (and not-so-helpful) coping mechanisms Haley relies on to soften the edges of her mental health issues. There's the Distractor, who wears a bright red boa and encourages Haley to avoid uncomfortable feelings by scrolling the Internet, the Liar, who teaches Haley the pillars of a good fib in order to survive at the middle school lunch table, and even the Partier, who gives Haley a social life in college but also lands her in the ER. From detailing her first unsupervised birthday party as a preteen to exploring the overwhelming life transitions as an adult, Give Me Space but Don't Go Far brings to life the pivotal moments of Haley's life and illuminates the lesson she's learned: With care, practice, and sound strategies, we can learn to coexist with our anxiety--and maybe even love it.
