Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Anxiety is an emotional state characterized by feelings of worry, nervousness, and uneasiness. It affects 40 million Americans over the age of 18, and everyday anxiety affects a far greater number. #2 Anxiety is a variety of symptoms that can affect us physically, emotionally, and cognitively. It is an evolutionary advantage that causes us to pause and scan the environment for threats. When we detect a potential danger, it is not supposed to be easy for us to stop thinking about it. #3 Managing your anxiety is about navigating your anxiety bottlenecks. These are the five traps that cause you to feel anxious: excessively hesitating before taking action, ruminating and worrying, paralyzing perfectionism, fear of feedback and criticism, and avoidance. #4 Understanding your nature and accepting it are the keys to overcoming anxiety. You don’t need to change your nature; you just need to understand your thinking style and learn tricks to shift your thoughts and behavior when it’s advantageous to you to do so.

'A must-read for anyone who suffers with chronic worry.' – Dr Nicole LePera 'Dr Kennedy's message has the potential to transform the way we think about mental health and the role of the body in calming the mind.' – Dr Rangan Chatterjee After years of trying different therapies for his crippling anxiety without success, Dr Russell Kennedy had an epiphany: anxiety does not start in the brain. Anxiety starts in the body, where trauma is stored and physical and emotional perception begin. Alarm bells originating in the body are what trigger those anxious thoughts that we call anxiety, and Dr Kennedy realised that true healing starts only when we learn not to conflate the two. He understood that existing therapies focused only on the mind would never get to the root of the problem – at best, they could help manage symptoms, but they’d never truly heal anxiety. Now fully revised and updated, with new material including the Anxiety Toolkit, The Anxiety Prescription blends Dr Kennedy's personal story with medical science, neuroscience and developmental psychology. When you learn how to sever the connection between the somatic alarm and the flood of anxious thoughts – you can begin to heal old trauma and gain back a sense of control. The Anxiety Prescription offers a toolkit of techniques for our thinking minds, and our feeling bodies – changing not just our mindset, but our 'body-set'. Unravelling the intricate relationship between anxiety, the body and the mind, this powerful book offers a profound path toward healing and growth.

Hiring the least likely candidates and turning them into high-potential employees is not only a winning business strategy but also a crucial step on the road to full inclusion and social justice. In today’s workplace, too many marginalized groups—people with disabilities, ex-convicts, senior citizens, the shy and anxious, various minorities—are underrepresented. And yet, workplaces often struggle to find enough employees to sustain their growing needs, putting massive pressure on HR hiring teams to fill the demand. Organizational psychologist Gil Winch argues that addressing our own biases and building organizations where everyone feels a profound sense of belonging is not only great for a company’s bottom line, it’s also good for employees, communities, and society as a whole. But where does a leader start? In Winning with Underdogs, Winch reveals: The current state of diversity, equity, and inclusion in business and the huge financial, social, and personal benefits that happen when full inclusion is a workplace norm Who comprises the pool of excellent potential candidates and where to find them How to screen, onboard, train, and manage candidates correctly for positions that match their skills How to care for employees’ needs in a way that empowers them to be highly productive and engaged in their work How to create a warm, welcoming corporate culture that prioritizes employees’ emotional health This strategy of full inclusion works. Winch has used it in his own business, and today, he offers a proven, systematic method to help leaders make the workplace not only more diverse and equitable but more productive and successful. Winning with Underdogs is the highly practical step-by-step guide you need to help build a more just society, while benefitting your business—and everyone in it. Gil Winch has served for 30+ years as an organizational consultant for many large companies and is an in-demand keynote speaker. His work creating a 100 percent underdog company composed mainly of people with disabilities has received international attention and led to an invitation to speak at conferences alongside Bill Clinton and other influential leaders. Winch is the founder of Call Yachol, an outsourcing call center that is a proving ground and showcase for his hiring and workforce-building model.
