Worth the Risk: How to Microdose Bravery to Grow Resilience, Connect More, and Offer Yourself to the World - Hardcover
Synopsis
Discover the rewards of strategic risk-taking―an award-winning behavioral scientist shares a practical guide on using small, intentional acts of courage to build resilience, confidence, and connection.
We’re bombarded by messages about how dangerous the world is―from both real and fake news. Yet when we hunker down and try to live in a bubble of safety, we can cut ourselves off from the richness and joy life has to offer. In Worth the Risk, Dr. Kristen Lee shows us that by “microdosing” small acts of bravery and connection, we can regain the self-confidence and resilience we need to live full and meaningful lives. “We are hardwired for risk-taking,” she says. “As we become more comfortable with the uncomfortable, our nervous system changes to support us in experiencing a bold, adventurous, colorful life.”
In each chapter of Worth the Risk, Lee provides a solid dose of brain science combined with practical actions to build confidence and sustain yourself through challenges. With a blend of stories, composite sketches, science, ancient wisdom, behavioral science, and practical exercises, you’ll explore:
• What is courage? Debunking the myths and discovering the power of everyday acts of bravery
• Why feeling overwhelmed doesn’t make you a “snowflake”
• Tools for understanding and regulating your emotions, anxieties, and habits of avoidance
• Healing practices and guidance to increase your resilience to trauma, acute stress, and PTSD
• Insights and strategies for navigating the unique challenges of our polarized, media-saturated culture
• How to own your “Personal Legend” and become an active liberator―for yourself and others
Risks are a part of life―and “playing it safe” can end up diminishing the very qualities that allow us to adapt, create, and serve our purpose in life. Worth the Risk guides you through a powerful approach to taking small, values-aligned chances that increase your ability to thrive. “You are not your trauma, labels, fears, or raw emotions,” Lee writes. “You are wired for resilience. Your human spirit is indomitable.”

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardback. Condition: Fair. Are you tired of being pumped with constant messages of fear and anxiety-that the future is bleak, and that we lack the grit our ancestors had to make it through? "Neuroscience has good news about our capacity to adapt-and thrive," says Kristen Lee. "We are wired to overcome. Trusting in ourselves, even in a hostile world, is worth the risk." With Worth the Risk, Lee shares a powerful guide to help you access your inner resources of courage, resilience, and creativity. Our current culture has left many of us unwilling to step outside of our "safe spaces"-whether that means sheltering from the pandemic in our homes or feeling afraid to speak up when any discussion might explode into an argument; yet our search for safety can go too far, diminishing our self-worth and participation in life. Fortunately, the latest research shows us that by "microdosing" small acts of bravery and connection, we can regain our confidence in our own adaptability, ingenuity, and sense of value to ourselves and one another. In each chapter of Worth the Risk, Lee provides a solid dose of brain science combined with practical actions to activate strengths and sustain yourself through challenges. "You are not at the mercy of life," she teaches. "You can learn to be the architect of your experience and know without doubt that you have what it takes to shine as an inexplicable, untamable force of nature.". Seller Inventory # 00107407966
