Outsmart Your Anxious Brain: Ten Simple Ways to Beat the Worry Trick Paperback – February 2, 2020

I first stumbled upon the author by doing some googling, and I ended up on his website to get more information on and help with anxiety. He has a lot of info on the site, and the tone in which he writes is addictive. He has truly mastered a great mix of being informative, caring, and funny. That carries on to this book (and I'm sure all his others) as well. You can tell he has a very good understanding of anxiety, panic, and phobias, and I can guarantee you will relate to A LOT of what he says in the book.Even though the book was scheduled to be released today 2/2/2020...Amazon shipped it to me about a week ago. Thanks Amazon! Anyway, I've completely read the book and will re-read it again. The tips themselves are very helpful. I've been putting the advice to the test and so far it has drastically reduced my anxiety, and I am very thankful for that. Don't get me wrong though. I still have some exposure work to do, but I am more confident than I have ever been with my ability to kick the panic to the curb. This book has helped me tremendously.If you deal with anxiety, panic, and/or phobias then you will find what you are looking for with this book. Trust his advice, follow his advice, and set yourself free. It works!

This book was a game changer for me. And I say that because I feel like my anxiety has totally played me. This book helped me understand my brain better and take control of my thoughts and put action to it. Loved this book and recommend it to those who are ready to put in the work and get out of the anxiety spiral.

This is the first anxiety/panic book that I have ever read (I've read a few) where the author completely gets it. All other books that I have read have some part to them where I think “I’ll just have to ignore that part,” because either it doesn’t seem helpful, is negative without the author realizing it, or is just plain scary. This book is obviously the result of many years of successfully treating people with anxiety issues. It is even better than his previous book, “the worry trick.” Definitely worth your time.

Look, self-help books are like a buffet of suggestions and techniques. We take what we want, and leave the rest. Right? What we've read/studied in the past, maybe, we felt elated while reading these Helpful books, and maybe we put those books down, and continued to suffer from thinking "gone wild?" My point is that we just can't give up!! And remeber those ideas from books past were seeds waiting for that miracle shift to happen. Reading isn't enough, or maybe it can be for some. At any moment, a shift can occur in our minds; I've grown in spite of myself. This author gave me a great gift in this book. In one of the chapters, he suggests, sitting in front of a mirror and look at ourselves talking about all those things that scare us; That we might find some humor in that process. Just the thought of doing that made me laugh out loud!!! I've been waiting to face my fear of the 3 hour dentist appt. coming up. I observe my catosrophic thoughts, as I tease myself a bit and smile while I tell myself that we { my mind and I } are going to the damn dentist!!!

The book has several surprising and enlightening insights into worrying, anxiety, and phobias, all of which made perfect sense after the explanation provide. It explains practical techniques for dealing with each of these. A gem for anyone that has experienced any of these issues or knows someone that has.

Fantastic book and author. Really helpful and applicable advice. I bought his previous book, the worry trick and needed this follow up. I keep it by the side of my bed to help me when I’m anxious at night.

This book has helped me out a lot. I have had therapy before and this follows basically what I learned but added useful info. I highly recommend this book, it works for me.

This book offer good techniques to manage your anxiety and worry , it’s so simple to apply and learn ..I wish if the book was deep enough with research about the brain and the source of anxiety , worry
