Mental Anxiety

How to Understand and Live with Social Anxiety emphasizes the idea that social anxiety is not a disorder, not something that needs to be fixed, but a developed conditioning of the mind to think and believe in negative realities. The audiobook, through a step-by-step process, helps listeners slowly understand their mental illness within the distinctiveness of their own context and gives them the tools to rewire their thought processes.

Life-Enhancing Anxiety makes a bold proposal: It is not less anxiety that we need today, but more, at least of a certain kind. The book comprises a collection of original and previously published essays that converge on what Schneider calls life-enhancing anxiety.

Set against our anxiety-avoidant times, life-enhancing anxiety enables us to "live with and make the best of the depth and mystery of existence."

Most people have something that gnaws at them at night, a mess or unrealized dream somewhere in their lives that causes them to feel stuck, out of control, overwhelmed, incomplete, and dissatisfied. They want to run away, back away, and ignore what they fear -whether it's a demanding boss, unsatisfying sex life, or distant love interest, but they can't. The fear finds them anyway. Psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert wants readers to know one thing: you can face your fear and create your ultimate life - and you can do it quickly.
