How Your Brain Tricks You into Expecting the Worst and What You Can Do About It

Resumen del Editor

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.

A very great insightful book, recommanded! Thanks!

great book with simple yet effective explanation about chronic worry. Thanks to the author :)

Amazing book

This book hit so many points with me, I almost felt like David had taken a swim around my brain. It almost brought me to tears several times with how accurate it is, and I will try using the tools that he gives during the book. I would recommend this book to anyone who has problems with overthinking and worrying.

A good approach to anxiety and chronic worry

Although I felt like I was listening to a TV Shopping channel a lot of the time, the narrator does a good job going through this creative book about anxiety and worrying. Yes, we all have it, some have chronic worry and there are solutions for it. This book won't cure your anxiety or teach you how to avoid all the worries we have, but it'll give you great tools (even some funny ones) to deal with the feelings. I enjoyed reading it and listening to it, I felt identified with many of the questions and learned many things about the worry trick.

Kind of silly but helpful

If you actually worry about unrealistic scenarios this may be helpful. Since I worry about things that actually are happening or likely to happen based on recent experience, I didn't find it too useful. But it's well-written and well-performed.

Useful tactics and strategies to combat worry

Great audiobook with concrete and science-backed strategies to better live with and minimize worry. Highly recommended.

HORRIBLE NARRATOR!

Was extremely eager to listen to this audiobook because I heard great things about the book. The narrator is absolutely horrible and I couldn’t continue listening after Chapter 2. Maybe I’ll try reading book on my own.

It did not give me more things to worry about.

I like how I feel now after reading the book. Taming the beast is not impossible.

Life changing

Life changing book. Worry is a difficult topic to write about, but this book mastered it! Helped me start working through a lot of my chronic worries, and will probably re-listen to this book in the coming weeks to review the strategies. From day one it started improving my chronic worries!

Awesome...I learned some new techniques

I loved listening to this book. It has definitely thought me to be friends with my worries. I think whether you chronically worry about stuff or you just have things that really worry you at times, this book will teach you on how to lighten the loads of worry from your brain. Glad I bought it

good listen.

good read. listened and rewound a few times to understand. relieve worry by laughing. love it.
