"'Taming the Anxious Mind' deconstructs the complex treatment of anxiety and stress disorders into a user-friendly and action-oriented guidebook. It emphasizes that anxiety represents an opportunity to re-train the mind away from destructive thinking towards a healthy mindset. 'Taming the Anxious Mind' provides: expert guidance on how to live a fuller life, manage anxiety and stress effectively and experience vitality and peace; an understanding of how the mind works and practical ways to better manage it; success stories from real people who have integrated these approaches successfully in their own lives; practices of mindfulness and meditation, including Metta (loving-kindness meditation), to lower nervous system arousal; rituals of letting go to experience a sense of liberation; guidance on limiting unhelpful thinking styles to free up space for positivity and confidence; habits of gratefulness to counteract a negative mindset; a life-compass to progress towards a value-informed lifestyle. Each chapter provides words of wisdom and practical exercises for self-empowerment. Practice exercises include: reflective writing exercise, waterfall visualization, expressive writing for rumination, letting-go rituals, self-care practice inventory, self-compassion exercise and others."
