Publisher's summary

"Why are my anxiety alarms going off all the time?"
"Why do I feel like I'm in an endless cycle of blame and anger and impatience?"
"Why are the people I love most melting down around me?"

No one needs to be told that our lives are filled with more anxiety than ever before. We know it. Our bodies can feel it. The questions we really need to answer are "Why?" and "Is there anything we can do about it?"

Dr. John Delony decided to get to the root of the issue by mapping out a plan to understand where our anxiety is coming from and the actions we can take to change it (because he's been there too). Over the past 20 years, he's learned through research, personal experience, and walking alongside countless others that there are six daily choices people have to make to create a non-anxious life:

  • Choosing reality.
  • Choosing connection.
  • Choosing freedom.
  • Choosing health and healing.
  • Choosing mindfulness.
  • Choosing belief.

In this no-nonsense, straightforward approach to mental health, John will break down exactly what each choice means and how to start making it on a daily basis.

Now, here's the truth: Those choices aren't easy, and anxiety isn't going to magically disappear. But if you commit to building a non-anxious life, you'll be able to better respond to whatever life throws at you. You'll grow from hard challenges. You'll learn to find peace during chaos.

And you will learn to be well.

Transforming

This book is great in so many ways beyond just being less anxious in life. It teaches you how to build a meaningful, courageous, fulfilling life that leaves you happy and also happens to leave you less anxious. I’m working to apply each principle in my life and will likely revisit this book again soon.

Anxiety isn’t the problem…it’s the alarm that your body is working properly!

I needed this book so much! I’ve lived with anxiety/ocd for years and sometimes I feel myself spiraling again so I have to dial it back in and take a break every now and then. Work is my drug and that’s not healthy either. Thank you for writing this!

I am now able to stopmy anxious, thoughts and conversations in my head with taking a deep breath and challenging myself

I loved the actual examples of what all of us go through as people rather than talking in generalized terms. I feel everyone could relate to something that was mentioned. Very well done. Thank you. I have already begun sharing this with my friends and my family.

Absolutely a Life Benefiting Encouragement of Art!!! More than Worth Your Time!!!

This is one Of the best books I've ever listened to! It is well worth anyone's time to listen or read and I highly recommend it! I've also listened to Doctor Johns podcasts and YouTube videos and he's definitely got a good head on his shoulders and speaks a resonating truth from his experience both in the past and as he enjoys working through life his self. Very real and down-to-earth, and A major plus that he invested the time read it himself with the perfect amount of vocal emotion to deliver his own message! Thanks for your work and contribution to the world Dr. John!!

Excellence & practicality in great balance!

It really does seem too simple, but maybe that’s the point! “Simple ain’t always easy!” as my grandma always used to say. I’m looking forward to implementing these ideas!
