About this listen

"Why are my anxiety alarms going off all the time?"
"Why do I feel like I'm in an endless cycle of blame and anger and impatience?"
"Why are the people I love most melting down around me?"

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 are "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 20 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:

  • Choosing reality.
  • Choosing connection.
  • Choosing freedom.
  • Choosing health and healing.
  • Choosing mindfulness.
  • Choosing 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.

On the surface, the information seems good. But I kept feeling like something was missing. I kept listening to see if that something would present itself. But in the end I just felt like I missed something. I'm going to listen it it again and see if I feel differently.

Really sensible inspiring book with a simple message. Anxiety isn’t a problem it’s the alarm bell that things are out of control.

take responsibility sort out the issue, and stop being distracted.

Great book - very pragmatic advice

This book contains very little information and is mostly the rambling of someone who seems to enjoy his own voice. The ‘wisdom’ is reminiscent of that of a person who has completed psych 101 and I hope this is not the future of mental health.

Do not recommend

Ironically, the way the book is framed almost gave me anxiety - a little overwhelming - not for me

Didn’t enjoy this
