Publisher's summary

All our lives, we were brought up to believe that other people and situations were what caused our anxiety. As it turns out, we were sold a pack of lies! What if the only thing causing your anxiety is your own thoughts? And what if underneath your anxious thinking was your true, perfect self - whole and healthy and untouched by all your fears? How would this change your life? For Jill Whalen, understanding this information switched off a lifetime of anxiety and addictive behaviors.

In Victim of Thought: Seeing Through the Illusion of Anxiety, Jill describes how she spent over 50 years in a constant state of anxiousness. While she could feel fine one minute, she never knew what might be lurking around the corner that could seemingly disturb her peace. It was only when she learned the simple truth of where her anxiety was really coming from - and that underneath it was her innate well-being - that she no longer was a victim to it.

In this easy to listen to and understand audiobook, Jill logically explains how having one or more insightful "aha moments" can wipe away a lifetime of anxious thinking. She shares numerous, relatable stories and examples from her own life to help you see the truth in her words. Jill also provides you with step-by-step instructions to become more aware of your own thoughts, which in turn puts you back in the driver's seat of your life. But the proof is really in the pudding, and Jill encourages you at every turn, seek your own examples and evidence of how you've let yourself become a victim of your own thoughts. Once you see this for yourself, your life and your anxiety will magically transform before your eyes! If you're tired of believing that you're a victim to your anxiety, and are looking for a more peaceful life, then this book is for you.

Well I loved this book!

This was such a down to earth, clear and wonderful listening experience. I felt I was sitting across from the author while she, in a matter of fact way gave me the key to dealing with difficult thoughts and emotions. I highly recommend listening and absorbing the author’s wisdom.

Wonderful Simple Solution for Anxiety

Like the author I too was a life time victim of thought. Jill Whalen’s audio book taught me that me that a new experience of what my life could be was just a thought away. Who knew it could be that easy! All of the helpful resources she provides at the end of the audio book kept me going forward with my new life experience with the three principles. It has been a great new beginning and life since.

Good simple treatment of meta awareness.

Explains how taking an objective view of thoughts and thinking can help alleviate anxiety. Basically a mindful stance on anxiety provoking thoughts.
