If you or someone you love suffers from excessive worry, anxiety, panic,
OCD, or phobias, you know how crippling it can be. Of course, worry can
be an important asset when it forces our attention on problem-solving.
But anxious worrying can cause us to unnecessarily focus on a threat, to
retreat and avoid, and to seek reassurance and safety--which is no way
to foster a life of growth and excitement. In his fifth published book,
Dr. Reid Wilson proposes a groundbreaking, paradoxical approach to
overcoming anxiety, worry, OCD, panic, and phobias by moving away from
comfort, confidence, and security and willingly moving toward
uncertainty, distress and discomfort. Through the use of unconventional
strategies, readers will learn how to confront anxiety head-on and step
forward into the face of threat. Drawing on a range of sources--from
firefighters and fitness instructors to Sir Isaac Newton and Muhammad
Ali--Stopping the Noise in Your Head: The New Way to Overcome Anxiety
and Worry demonstrates the importance of shifting our perspective and
stepping toward our challenges in order to regain control of our lives.
