Tomado de la pasta: "We are living through one of the most anxious periods any of us can remember. 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 behaviors 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 to 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. This is a clear, solution-oriented program that anyone can use to feel better -no matter how anxious they feel."
