Unwinding Anxiety by Judson Brewer

challenging informative

4.0

Dr. Jud Brewer's book, "Unwinding Anxiety: New Science Shows How to Break the Cycles of Worry and Fear to Heal Your Mind," is a great combination of popular science and self-help. He uses his own lab's and others' research to explore how the brain works and how we learn. Through this research, he concludes that the science of habit formation and addiction can help address anxiety. This book is geared toward those who are skeptical of self-help as it provides detailed research with methodical advice. However, some readers have found the book to be too general for science fans and too detailed for those seeking easy answers. Despite this, the book provides valuable insights and practices that have helped many readers, including the writer of this text, even if they haven't followed the advice step by step.
