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.

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!

The honesty of the work

This is john’s best work, he clearly exemplified the words he wrote not just preached about them. I believe the change that will occur from applying this book will cause permanent healing from old scars and wounds.

Empathy found between the covers of this book

I don’t feel as alone as I did before I read this. This takes all of the practical, theoretical, scientific stuff and puts it into digestible pieces for any reader.

Life-changing

Dr. Delony hits the nail on the head in so many places that it is difficult to quantify. I had already begun to apply these principles in my home with my wife and children as I was going through the book, and it has made a significant difference. I plan to continue to, and I know this book will have at least one or more rereads throughout my life. Absolutely stellar material.
