About this listen

A guide to our anxious minds; offering a route to calm, self-compassion, and mental well-being.

Far more than we tend to realize, we’re all - in private - deeply anxious. There is so much that worries us across our days and nights: whether our hopes will come true, whether others will like us, whether the people we care about will be okay, whether we can escape humiliation and grief...

Too often, we bottle up our anxieties or try to avoid looking at them directly. We are ashamed of how worried we are and end up feeling isolated and yet more worried. None of this is necessary. Anxiety is deeply normal and, like so much else that troubles our minds, it can be understood and brought under our control. We all deserve to wake up every day without a sense of foreboding.

This is a guide to anxiety: why we feel it, how we experience it when it strikes, and what we can do when we come under its influence. Across a series of essays that look at the subject from a number of angles, the tone is helpful, compassionate, and in the best sense, practical.

A great book to dip in and out of if you’d like to learn how to ease stress and panic a little more. Highly recommend.

Excellent

I’ve read a few books from this series. Like the rest of them, this was exceptional. It’s not just the content (which isn’t necessarily original). It’s the careful editing, bringing together a breadth of ideas which are conveyed succinctly, persuasively.

I find myself listening to these, at least twice, in order to absorb the content.

Excellent - very useful read.
