It helps us understand that rather than squaring up to anxiety, we should listen to what it is saying. And to start celebrating this unique sensitivity that makes us feel deeply and intensely. With tips, exercises, expert research and stories from those who've learnt how to ride the worry wave to thrive, this book will help you unlock the power of your anxiety.
