Summary:
"No one needs to be told that our lives are filled with more anxiety than ever before. We know it. Our bodies can feel it. The questions we really need to answer "Why?" and "Is there anything we can do about it?" Dr. John Delony decided to get to the root of the issue by mapping out a plan to understand where our anxiety is coming from and the actions we can take to change it (because he's been there too). Over the past twenty years, he's learned through research, personal experience, and walking alongside countless others that there are six daily choices people have to make to create a non-anxious life: Choose reality ; Choose connection ; Choose freedom ; Choose health and healing ; Choose mindfulness ; Choose belief. In this no-nonsense, straightforward approach to mental health, John will break down exactly what each choice means and how to start making it on a daily basis. Now, here's the truth: Those choices aren't easy, and anxiety isn't going to magically disappear. But if you commit to building a non-anxious life, you'll be able to better respond to whatever life throws at you. You'll grow from hard challenges. You'll learn to find peace during chaos. And you will learn to be well"-- Provided by publisher.
