Do you overthink before taking action? Are you prone to making negative
predictions? Do you worry about the worst that could happen? Do you take
negative feedback very hard? Are you self-critical? Does anything less
than perfect performance feel like failure?
If any of these issues resonate with you, you're probably suffering from
some degree of anxiety, and you're not alone. The good news: while
reducing your anxiety level to zero isn't possible or useful (anxiety
can actually be helpful!), you can learn to successfully manage
symptoms - such as excessive rumination, hesitation, fear of criticism
and paralysing perfection.
In The Anxiety Toolkit, Dr. Alice Boyes translates powerful,
evidence-based tools used in therapy clinics into tips and tricks you
can employ in everyday life. Whether you have an anxiety disorder, or
are just anxiety-prone by nature, you'll discover how anxiety works,
strategies to help you cope with common anxiety 'stuck' points and a
confidence that - anxious or not - you have all the tools you need to
succeed in life and work.
