We live in an age of anxiety.
Like an omnipresent yet invisible odour you've grown used to, anxiety has become a constant condition and a distraction that undermines our quality of life.
World-renowned neuroscientist, Dr Wendy Suzuki, will show us that science tells us a very different story: yes, anxiety is unpleasant - it's meant to be - and in the debilitating extreme, what Wendy calls 'bad anxiety' , it's destructive. But most of the anxiety that humans feels is essential - not only for survival, but for higher brain functions formerly thought to be put on hold during anxious moments. Supported by her revolutionary research, Wendy will provide us with the neuroscience based hacks for harnessing anxiety and facing it head on.
Wendy will teach us how to flip anxiety on its head - offering a counterintuitive lens through which to understand how it manifests in our everyday lives. The book will introduce a taboo breaking slant on anxiety - that once we learn how to play it at its own game, it can become our superpower!
