The Worry Trick
The Worry Trick: How Your Brain Tricks You Into Expecting the Worst and What You Can Do About It | David A Carbonell
7 posts | 4 read | 15 to read
Are you truly in danger or has your brain simply "tricked" you into thinking you are? In The Worry Trick, psychologist and anxiety expert David Carbonell shows how anxiety hijacks the brain and offers effective techniques to help you break the cycle of worry, once and for all. Anxiety is a powerful force. It makes us question ourselves and our decisions, causes us to worry about the future, and fills our days with dread and emotional turbulence. Based in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), this book is designed to help you break the cycle of worry. Worry convinces us there's danger, and then tricks us into getting into fight, flight, or freeze mode—even when there is no danger. The techniques in this book, rather than encouraging you to avoid or try to resist anxiety, shows you how to see the trick that underlies your anxious thoughts, and how avoidance can backfire and make anxiety worse. If you’re ready to start observing your anxious feelings with distance and clarity—rather than getting tricked once again—this book will show you how.

For someone who worries a lot, I was really hoping to get some advice from this book. All I got was confusion and maybe one technique I could use. I did not find this book helpful. The author jumped around a lot.. not the book I was hoping for.

I deal with my anxiety disorder with varying degrees of success daily. It was a bad day when I decided to grab this book. It was everything I needed. It was like looking into a mirror and being able to laugh at the mess I saw.

If you struggle with chronic worry, this book is for you. For real.
