Episode notes

This is a false association. And i think this one really blew up because of the internet. That's my gas. If you actually look at the research, that's not true with anxiety. Its it's an inverse, linear correlation. Any amount of anxiety is not good fr for performance. But that didn't stop people from giving unow ted talks and writing books about this stuff. I still get people requesting me to write nw reviews about their books for healthful anxiety. And i just say, i can't do because as not true.

In this episode, Dr. Jud Brewer, a neuroscientist and addiction psychiatrist, discusses the biological origins of anxiety and how to unwind our feedback loops using techniques derived from his lab’s research.

Since his last appearance on the show, Dr. Jud has written and published a book which is now a NYT bestseller titled Unwinding Anxiety: New Science Shows How to Break the Cycles of Worry and Fear to Heal Your Mind which he describes as, “a clinically proven step-by-step plan to break the cycle of worry and fear that drives anxiety and addictive habits.”
