Unwinding Anxiety

Unwinding Anxiety by Judson Brewer explains how anxiety works like a habit loop in the brain, where triggers lead to worry-driven behaviors such as overthinking, procrastination, stress eating, doomscrolling, or avoidance. Drawing on neuroscience, mindfulness, and clinical research, Brewer shows how people can break these cycles by becoming more aware of their triggers and responding with curiosity instead of fear. The book offers practical exercises and brain-based techniques to reduce anxious thinking, build healthier habits, and create long-term emotional calm and resilience.
