About this listen
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 audiobook 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 audiobook, rather than encouraging you to avoid or try to resist anxiety, show 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 audiobook will show you how.

First chapters are good but then it becomes counter productive.
The first chapters teach you that your brain is designed to predict the worst thing that can happen not the future so that was an aha moment for me, but throughout the rest of the book he goes on to talk about chronic worriers and people with GAD. He only reinforces your worry by yapping about how much these people worry and creates the very problem he's trying to solve. So I wouldn't recommend reading more than the first two chapters, about 2 hours of the book.
