Synopsis

Anxiety can be a normal part of being human, and at times it may even feel useful. Owen O’Kane argues that, for many people, it can also become something we unknowingly build routines around, with short-term “safety” behaviours and familiar thought patterns that end up reinforcing the problem.

Working from the idea that we can become “hooked”, the book encourages readers to break the cycle by first recognising anxiety and identifying triggers, then tackling the habits that keep it going, and finally learning how to move forward when setbacks occur. Suitable for readers looking for a structured approach to understanding and changing their relationship with anxiety.
