Good Anxiety by Suzuki
World-renowned neuroscientist and author of Healthy Brain, Happy Life has developed an absolute game-changer (Conscious Conversations Podcast) for managing unwarranted anxiety and turning it into a powerful asset. 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 well-being? What if, instead of seeing anxiety as a curse, we could recognize it for the unique gift that it is? As a neuroscientist, 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 a number of negative emotions. If we simply approach anxiety as something to avoid, get rid of, or dampen, we actually miss an opportunity to not only manage the symptoms of anxiety better but also discover ways to improve our lives. Listening to our worries from a place of curiosity, instead of fear, can actually guide us onto a path that leads to joy. 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 (The Wall Street Journal).Wendy Suzuki, PhD, directs an interactive research lab at New York University, where her work has been acknowledged with multiple accolades, including the National Academy of Sciences' coveted Troland Research Award. She has spoken at TEDx twice and is frequently interviewed by the media. She gives talks about her research all over the country and is a reviewer for several of the leading neuroscience journals. She currently resides in New York City.
