The Unwinding Anxiety Workbook: Practical Exercises to Break the Cycles of Worry and Fear to Heal Your Mind

A hands-on resource to help you break addictive habits and heal your anxious mind, based on the New York Times bestseller Unwinding Anxiety.

Between the relentless uncertainty—political, environmental, societal—in the world and our own personal challenges, many of us are living in a state in which we are overwhelmed by anxiety. When anxious or negative feelings strike, we might find ourselves falling into unhealthy patterns of thought and behavior that we struggle to change—worrying, stress-eating, constantly scrolling on social media, procrastinating, and more. But there is a way out. In this workbook companion to his New York Times bestseller, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Judson Brewer shows how you can uproot anxiety using brain-based techniques that are accessible to anyone.

Filled with powerful exercises and thought-provoking journal prompts, the Unwinding Anxiety Workbook will guide you through a scientifically proven three-step program designed to hack your anxiety and help you access more peace and calm in a constantly changing world.
