Description
This audio-friendly summary explores anxiety as both a helpful biological alarm and, at times, an exhausting daily burden. With a calm, supportive tone, it walks through how anxiety shows up in the mind, body, and behavior—and why avoiding fear tends to shrink life, even when it brings short-term relief.
Across eight chapters, you’ll hear practical, science-informed approaches for recognizing feelings, reducing rumination, caring for the body, and building new responses through experience. The aim is not to “erase” anxiety, but to relate to it differently—so it no longer runs the show and you can move toward a fuller, more meaningful life.
