About the Book:

In our world of relentless pressures, the tight grip of stress and anxiety can feel inescapable. But what if we’ve been viewing it all wrong? What if we could harness the very emotion that paralyzes us to propel us forward?

“Anxiety Anonymous” intertwines personal anecdotes, scientifically backed neuroscience methodologies, and reflective exercises, resulting in a comprehensive guide to understanding and harnessing anxiety. It is not just about managing or escaping anxiety, but about embracing it and leveraging it for purposeful action.

This is not just another self-help book; it’s an enlightening journey that redefines our understanding of this often-debilitating emotion. Discover its origins, understand its dual nature, and see why anxiety, in measured doses, can be productive.

We often see anxiety as the villain, the drama queen, that chains us down with fears and insecurities. But when channeled correctly, it can be a powerful ally. This book will help you learn how to live anxiety free:

• Biblical Approach To Overcoming Anxiety: Turn to timeless wisdom and spiritual insights, drawing strength and solace from Biblical teachings.
• Thriving Beyond Anxiety: Transcend mere coping mechanisms and lay the path to not only manage, but to truly thrive in the face of adversity.

Filled with personal anecdotes, scientifically backed strategies, and interactive exercises, “Anxiety Anonymous” is your guide to flipping the script on fear. It’s about understanding anxiety’s purpose, and wielding its power to launch you into a life of achievement.

My Review:

This is a little book but it contains a great deal of information and many practical ideas. Cooney reviews the latest scientific findings. She helps us understand anxiety and explains how it differs from fear. I like her information on meta-cognition, that we can be aware of our thoughts. We can observe our thoughts about anxiety and become aware of its triggers and patterns. We can reformat our brain using intentional thought creation, training our brain to look for the positive.

My favorite part of this book was the biblical approach to overcoming anxiety. Cooney explains the concept of a renewed mind and gives practical steps for the daily process. She also includes ideas for building a thriving life beyond anxiety, including mental wellness and preventing an anxiety relapse. I appreciate her suggesting we not avoid anxiety altogether but learn from it and see it as a catalyst for growth.

This is a good book for those ready to no longer let past programming and circumstances rule but rather be intentional in our thoughts. Cooney provides information, practical suggestions and reflective questions to help us on the journey to a life beyond anxiety.

My rating: 4/5 stars.
