About this ebook

Stop letting anxiety run your life.

If you're like one of the millions of Americans who suffer from anxiety and panic attacks every year, you probably spend too much time in your own head. Though our minds are great places to solve complex problems, they’re borderline destructive when it comes to handling fear and anxiety.

The reason for this is simple: as perplexing and terrifying as it may be, fear is but a feeling, and you cannot “solve” feelings. All you can do is choose to focus on them or let them be.

Unfortunately, so many of us opt for the former route, overanalyzing fear endlessly, helplessly plunging ourselves into further spirals of darkness and anxiety. Not only is this no way to live, but it’s also no way to approach fear, for until we break out of such apprehensive thinking, it will only continue to drag us down further and further.

Thus, in order to alleviate anxiety, we must break free from these fear cycles. But how?

That's exactly what you'll discover in this book. As you read this relatable self-help title, you'll learn:

-What anxiety is and where it comes from

-Why we keep perpetuating our anxiety, even when we know it doesn't serve us

-Ten helpful tactics for mitigating acute episodes of panic and anxiety

-How to develop an overall lifestyle of calm and inner peace

Ratings and reviews

Surprisingly Excellent Personal and Practical Book on Anxiety I adore reading nonfiction, and unfortunately, much of what I read seems to look at the subject superficially, as if the author were trying to make a quick buck on a popular topic or trend. That's why I found this book a particular delight, despite its subject matter. This book results from the author’s 10-year deep-dive research looking into anxiety and panic attacks so he could relieve his own. He has analyzed and distilled his learning into ways that have worked for him to overcome anxiety when it happens in a particular situation as well as looking at ways to decrease it in the long term. The book is imbued with personal stories and well-referenced research. He also gives you specific steps and actions to take to help decrease your anxiety in the short and long terms. Sometimes books that are so grounded in the author's life experience can have an imbalance between the sharing of the author's story and the practical applications for the reader. The author has managed to walk that tightrope perfectly. I think this book would be helpful both for people who have occasional anxiety as well as those who suffer from clinical anxiety. Thanks, Mr. Sachetta, for turning your suffering into something that could help others! I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.
