You 1 Anxiety 0

“Sorry, Anxiety, You Lose!”

Donna felt powerless and defeated by her anxiety. She believed getting better was “too hard” because despite her every effort she continued to feel this way.

Anxiety doesn’t play fair. It antagonizes you. It lies to you. It steals away the best parts of you. Don’t let it keep cheating you out of happiness! You are too important.

In You 1, Anxiety 0, Jodi Aman highlights the ways anxiety manipulates and entraps us, and offers valuable tools you can use to see through anxiety’s mind tricks and break free from the prison of fear, stress and doubt.

The good news is that anxiety is curable. Even if you’ve had it forever. Even if therapy hasn’t worked. Even if you feel hopeless. This book:

• helps you understand why you suffer from anxiety


• explains the biology of fear so you are not longer afraid


• disempowers anxiety by exposing the tricks it uses 


• shares the skills you need to empower yourself and retrain your brain 


• teaches you self-compassion


• provides practical daily rituals you can use to keep calm in this crazy world.
