Ancient sages compared the human mind to a monkey: constantly chattering, hopping from branch to branch - endlessly moving from fear to safety. If you are one of the millions of people whose life is affected by anxiety, you are familiar with this process. Unfortunately, you can't switch off the "monkey mind", but you can stop feeding the monkey - or stop rewarding it by avoiding the things you fear.

It would be surprising to know that your brain is the source of your anxiety. It’s not only that anxiety manifests in things that cross your mind, but it also affects your brain chemistry in such a way that it can alter future thoughts and likewise affect the way your body operates. As we all know, anxiety can be a troubling disorder, but it is also fascinating. You can feel its physical symptoms even when you don’t feel anxious and it causes you to change your responses to life events as it reinforces itself on your behavior.

An estimated five million Americans suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and live diminished lives in which they are compelled to obsess about something or to repeat a similar task over and over. Traditionally OCD has been treated with Prozac or similar drugs. The problem with medication, aside from its cost, is that 30 percent of people treated don't respond to it, and when the pills stop, the symptoms invariably return.

Not long ago, it was thought that the brain you were born with was the brain you would die with, and that the brain cells you had at birth were the most you would ever possess. Your brain was thought to be hardwired to function in predetermined ways. It turns out that's not true. Your brain is not hardwired; it's "softwired" by experience. This book shows you how you can rewire parts of the brain to feel more positive about your life, remain calm during stressful times, and improve your social relationships.

Important Work...
- By Douglas on 11-08-13
Publisher's Summary
Do you ever wonder what is happening inside your brain when you feel anxious, panicked, and worried? In Rewire Your Anxious Brain, psychologist Catherine Pittman and author Elizabeth Karle offer a unique, evidence-based solution to overcoming anxiety, based in cutting-edge neuroscience and research.
In this audiobook you will learn how the amygdala and cortex (both important parts of the brain) are essential players in the neuropsychology of anxiety. The amygdala acts as a primal response, and oftentimes, when this part of the brain processes fear, you may not even understand why you are afraid. By comparison the cortex is the center of worry - that is, obsessing, ruminating, and dwelling on things that may or may not happen.
Pittman and Karle offer simple, specific examples of how to manage fear by tapping in to both of these pathways in the brain. As you listen, you'll gain a greater understanding of how anxiety is created in the brain, and as a result you will feel empowered and motivated to overcome it.
The brain is a powerful tool, and the more you work to change the way you respond to fear, the more resilient you will become. Using the practical self-assessments and proven-effective techniques in this book, you will learn to literally "rewire" the brain processes that lie at the root of your fears.

I liked this book a lot! Most anxiety books only focus on one type of treatment for anxiety, promoting it as the only way to cure it. This book has a much more ample and better explained and sustained ways to cope with anxiety.

A Useful Tool for Dealing with Anxiety
Although I found I would have liked a little less scientific discussion, on a whole this book proved quite useful for understanding how the brain manufactures anxiety. Better yet, this book offers useful exercises in measuring your anxiety and dealing with solutions. A most helpful read that provides a better understanding of neuroplasticity and how to make it work in your favor.

Any additional comments?
I found this book well structured, to the point, and helpful.
I loved that the author didn't try to treat anxiety with a cookie-cutter approach, one fits all. When it comes to anxiety, one definitely doesn't fit all.
Through short quizzes, to which you can easily give mental answers while listening to the audio book, the author helps you pinpoint what you are experiencing, names it, and gives you strategies specific to the type of anxiety you might have. I found that knowing the origin of my anxieties, putting a name to them, and knowing at least 2-3 strategies for each, is very helpful.
In fact, I'm about to purchase a book in print, in order to bookmark and reference it.

Wow,!! really a terrific listen
The subject matter is very interesting and relevant in today's fast paced society; however, it requires much attention due to the nature of its technical terminology and the fast pace of narration. Some of the terminology got by me on the first pass. With a second listen everything really clicked. As stated the narrator's pace was quick but still pleasant while on topic.
I did enjoy this book from start to finish and hope to read more from the authors (Pittman and Carle).
I'd recommend this book to anybody looking to get a better understanding of how our body's both initiate and respond to emotions such as fear, panic, anxiety and worry.
Well worth the credit for this fascinating book.

Disappointing
Apart from discovering anxiety can be produced by two parts of the brain, I did not gain much by listening to this book. A great deal of time is dedicated to explaining this simple fact and much of the information is needlessly repetitive. The suggested techniques to combat anxiety are disappointing and boil down to breathing and muscle exercises - nothing particularly innovative or new and similar exercises readily available on YouTube. Certainly not the 'rewiring' processes implied by the title of the book.

Excellent guide!
Neurosciences of anxiety to give you the tools to make sense of a paralysing sensation. Really liked the narrator's voice, pace and intonation.

Very helpful!
I've been listening to this book as well as seeking CBT. I found this book incredibly helpful and it has helped me to understand how my brain works and that I CAN change my brain and rewire it. It is very good and I would recommend this to anyone suffering with anxiety (it even helps you identify what sort you have).
Excellent!

Great book for scientifically treating anxiety
It was very interesting to know about the two different mechanisms of brain for creating anxiety and how one can change them.

Very Good
Very nice book. Found that learning the science behind anxiety alone was useful in reducing my anxiety.

A deep,concise look on anxiety & how to reduce it
If you could sum up Rewire Your Anxious Brain in three words, what would they be?
Informative, inspiring, easy-to-follow
It is enlightening and fascinating to have a deeper look on what cause anxiety. The book explains in details on how amygdala and cortex cause anxiety, worries, fears, and compulsive disorders - it feels like the book gives you a tour of your brain to see how it reacts when it is experiencing anxiety. The solutions provided in this book are very useful and effective in reducing anxiety.
What did you like best about this story?
The breathing and relaxation exercises in chapter 6 are surprisingly useful. I play it every night when we are ready for bed. My husband and son fall into sleep right away. : )
What about Susannah Mars’s performance did you like?
Her voice is clear and "authoritative" and makes you feel you can trust her.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It makes me feel that I can conquer fear and anxiety

A clear understanding really helps.
I found the clear and thorough explanation of the exact known cause and ways of helping myself very reassuring. I feel much more confident that I can use the retraining techniques explained in this book to finally rid myself from this sometimes all consuming worry, pessimism and fear. It actually feels better just having a real name for them. Really helpful audiobook. Thank you.

Very technical but informative
More like a scientific article than anything else. Some helpful insight though with a dash of empowerment to help one realise that changing the brain is actually possible!

For many, this will be a valuable book
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
The book explains clearly the sources of anxiety as being both the cognitive mind and the ancient part of our brains called the amygdala. It explains that rewiring your brain - employing our modern understanding of neuroplasticity - can change even the apparently autonomic responses of the amygdala as well as our cognitive responses. And most importantly, it explains how it can be done.
Who was your favorite character and why?
N/A
What does Susannah Mars bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
This is an expressive and sensitive read.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
A bit long and involved for that - best heard a couple of chapters at a time.
