Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Break free from anxiety and be free to live a full, happy life with internationally renowned psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr Judson Brewer - based on over 20 years of research and his simple habit-breaking programme.
We are living through one of the most anxious periods any of us can remember. Whether facing issues as public as a pandemic and political upheaval or as personal as having kids at home fighting the urge to reach for the wine bottle every night, we are feeling overwhelmed and out of control. But in this timely book, Judson Brewer explains how to uproot anxiety at its source using brain-based techniques and small hacks accessible to anyone.
We think of anxiety as everything from mild unease to full-blown panic. But it's also what drives the addictive behaviours and bad habits we use to cope (e.g. stress eating, procrastination, doom scrolling and social media). Plus, anxiety lives in a part of the brain that resists rational thought. So we get stuck in anxiety habit loops that we can't think our way out of or use willpower to overcome. Dr Brewer teaches us map our brains to discover our triggers, defuse them with the simple but powerful practice of curiosity and to train our brains using mindfulness and other practices that his lab has proven can work.
Distilling more than 20 years of research and hands-on work with thousands of patients, including Olympic athletes and coaches, and leaders in government and business, Dr Brewer has created a clear, solution-oriented programme that anyone can use to feel better - no matter how anxious they feel.

Great practical advice for anxiety sufferers
This book was exactly what I was looking for. It gives a wealth of scientific information that is just useful enough without being overwhelming, and practical advice which everyone can introduce into their lives to work with their minds to overcome anxiety.

Enlightening, and an easy listen
Now I see a path through the anxiety that has been with me since childhood. Dr Jud reads his work with flow , and with sincerity. For the first time, mindfulness, and its place in unpicking my brain’s default to anxiety, makes sense. A life in the present moment, where anxiety is difficult for the brain to run concurrently alongside curiosity, really does offer relief- I’ll happily build that feeling of relief a minute at a time, and keep practising many times.
N.B. I listened to this book after discovering the Unwinding Anxiety app, so will happily admit that the practises mentioned in the book are already familiar to me. This book is almost the icing on a cake, that I had already started to assemble with the aid of the app and it’s community. The combination of both is proving to be life changing, even at the pace of present moment by present moment.

Game changer for Generalised Anxiety Disorder
I’ve become pretty much obsessed with trying to understand and alleviate my anxiety since I noticed how much time it takes up. Even if I resolved issues I was worrying about something else would take its place. I was beginning to accept that this is just life and I’m just a worrier. After listening to this book I’m convinced there is a solution to my anxiety.
When people write in reviews that the book is life changing, I’ll read it eagerly but it rarely has the same impact on me. This book however may well be that book for me.
It just hit home on so many ways. Many examples made me say out loud “I do that” or OMG that’s me! The gears make perfect sense, the exercises are short, practical, accessible and completely eye opening.
Habit loops! So simple to understand when you can see them. I live my life in these loops good and bad. There have been too many bad ones created or exacerbated by this last challenging year and this book is already helping me see more clearly. What an amazing find after listening to a new podcast. Thank you!

Remarkably good audio book
Quite often you buy an audio book with a aptly named title. You hope it will live up to its promise. This one does. As they say say in England, "it does what it says on the tin". I found it a very useful and informative guide to unwinding anxiety.

One of the best books I've read on the matter
One of the best books I've read on the matter. Fascinating and full of proper research. A must for people interested on the topic but also people struggling with their anxiety
