The Worry Trick: How Your Brain Tricks You Into Expecting the Worst and What You Can Do about It

Good

I wish I had read it sooner, when I first fell prey to panic attacks, anxiety and worry. I came to know how anxiety functions from a lot of other books, and they helped. This book described literally my entire journey through anxiety. I followed the steps in this book, and though I do get occasional worrisome thoughts, but I am no longer anxious and scrambling myself to get to a psychiatrist and troubling him to give me reassurances.

I've read a lot of books on anxiety in the 15 years I've been suffering from severe health anxiety. This is the first one where I felt like the author was actually in my head. It was such a relief to see the thoughts and fears I have being expressed by someone else. By far the best takeaway from this book is to stop keeping your anxious thoughts to yourself. I finally feel like I have a path to a calmer, less anxious life.

Amazing book! Concrete examples you can relate to and apply.

The world trick permette al lettore di aver una maggiore conoscenza dei meccanismi dell'ansia che avvengono nel nostro cervello e soprattutto spiega come i nostri rimedi per fuggire dalle preoccupazioni, non fanno altro che alimentarle come quando si cerca di spegnere il fuoco con la benzina( cit. Dal libro) David A carbonell é uno psicologo della acceptance commitment therapy, in questo libro ci insegna, con un linguaggio molto diretto, a dare risposte efficaci, sebbene controintuitive, ai nostri problemi di ansia. All'inizio potrebbero sembrare degli atti inutili e fini a se stessi, ma in realtà le tecniche descritte nel libro rompono l'eterno ciclo dell'ansia.

Great book for people with this kind of problems or who have acquaintances facing them. Well written and easy to follow. Really recommend it!

Like a lot of people these days - I have anxiety issues from time to time, and I found this book to be an absolute godsend. I would absolutely and without reservation recommend this book for anybody that suffers from anxiety. It's easy to read and explains things in a light-hearted way. I've read it a couple times myself when hit with a bout of anxiety and I've also lent it to others who were in need of it's wisdom at times in their lives. I wouldn't be without a copy on my shelf.
