It is a book is didn't expect to learn so much from. I first found out about it through a LinkedIn course by the author where he talked about no anxiety was a good thing, which really made me interested in learning more about it. Unsurprisingly I didn't finish the course but checked out the book from the library.
The book is filled with research results and personal experiences, to a point I felt a bit extra. Yet I appreciate the scientific explanations on how our brain works and how habits are formed, as well as all the techniques to help engineer our brain to break those bad habits. Understanding, acknowledging, being curious and mindfulness are all the things my therapist taught me about how to fight anxiety. However, as a data driven person, i am more drawn to the learn from a book, not from a person way.
I would recommend this book, because I think the approaches could be really helpful. If you are skeptical, at least give the book a try.

A helpful book that reframes anxiety as a mental habit we all have & can work with. I learned a lot about what anxiety is & where it comes from and how to map out ruminative thought patterns to better understand them. The first section felt the most useful for me, the second two sections feel less practical and like they’d be better taught in a hands-on setting rather than describing them in a book.

just a bit boring and a lot of it read as an ad for him/his app - didn't learn anything in first 20% so putting this down

It's much too long, too repetitive and I'm still not sure about the whole "anxiety is an addiction" analogy but there were some good insights and practices for like life, I guess
