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?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAs 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 \u003ci\u003eavoid\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eget rid of\u003c\/i\u003e, or \u003ci\u003edampen\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e“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” (\u003ci\u003eThe Wall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e).","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49346840461616,"sku":"BDemxv","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49346840494384,"sku":"10emxv","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/emxv-Square-cover.jpg?v=1773695173","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-emxv","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
