From bestselling author Martha Beck, a new path to overcoming anxiety by awakening the creativity within

We live in an epidemic of anxiety. Most of us assume that the key to overcoming it is to think our way out. And for a while it works. But there is always something that sends us back into the anxious spiral we’ve been trying to climb out of.

In Beyond Anxiety, Dr. Martha Beck explains why anxiety is skyrocketing around you, and likely within you. She also tells you how to not only reduce your anxiety but use it to propel you into a life filled with peace, meaning, and joy.

Using a combination of the latest neuroscience as well as her background in sociology and coaching, Beck explains how our brains tend to get stuck in an “anxiety spiral,” a feedback system that can increase anxiety indefinitely. To climb out, we must engage different parts of our nervous system—the parts involved in creativity. Beck provides instructions for engaging the “creativity spiral,” in a process that not only shuts down anxiety but leads to innovative problem solving, a sense of meaning and purpose, and joyful, intimate connection with others—and with the world.

The opposite of anxiety, it turns out, is a wonderful new way of life—one that can calm and inspire us as individuals and help us become a source of healing for everything around us.

LOVE THIS BOOK SO HARD

I’m already a MB groupie (Wayfinder coach) so maybe a bit biased, but this book feels perfect for this moment in time, when established social norms are crumbling and everything just feels intense. It’s a beautiful roadmap towards creating a fulfilling, exciting and meaningful life on your own terms. Also this stuff works - I’ve been doing this “work” for a couple years now and life just keeps getting exponentially more awesome. Thanks Martha - you are pure magic. 💕

Martha’s insights will have you laughing and crying as she provides completely actionable steps to go beyond anxiety.

I absolutely love Martha’s sense of humor and how she keeps me laughing while discussing serious topics. She is a brilliant light for humanity. This book absolutely gives me hope for our world. I needed this Martha. Thank you.

So much more!

This book is so much more than a book about anxiety. It should be required reading for all humans. I listened to the last chapter twice because I needed the positive reassurance that it contained. Martha Beck has so much wisdom to share.
