Description

Anxiety doesn’t just feel like worry—it can become a self-reinforcing habit loop that pulls you toward the coping behaviors you rely on, from doom scrolling and stress eating to procrastination and other addictions. In this clinically grounded guide, Judson Brewer shows how to identify the brain-based triggers that start the cycle and then interrupt it with practical, step-by-step techniques rooted in curiosity and mindfulness. Drawing on more than two decades of research and real-world work with thousands of people, he offers accessible “small hacks” for retraining attention and changing how your mind responds in the moment. With a clear, solution-oriented approach, this book helps you unwind anxiety at its source—so you can feel steadier, make different choices, and break free from patterns that once felt impossible to control.
