The Anxiety Dharma Steve Zanella

In his book, The Anxiety Dharma, author Steve Zanella takes a unique and personal look at his mental health disorder and how generalized anxiety, worry, fear, and self-doubt in everyone shape the lives we live and the choices we make. With a style that is authentic, approachable and relatable, Steve shares what causes anxiety to arise, how he experienced his disorder symptoms both as a child and as an adult, the treatments, successes, failures, and lessons learned from his more than 30-year personal, and often painful battle to overcome a debilitating anxiety and panic disorder. Through his discovery of mindfulness meditation, Steve discovered a natural and permanent solution for managing his anxiety while simultaneously retraining his mind, strengthening his focus, and changing his relationship with fear. He makes the practice of meditation easy to understand so that anyone can learn to control fear, reduce stress, build healthier and stronger relationships, and live a happier and healthier life filled with purpose. A mixture of Buddhist wisdom, philosophical ponderings, personal stories, and easy to learn meditation practices, this book offers effective, real-world treatment for dealing with the fearful, obsessive thoughts, and the self-defeating, subconscious habits that hold us back from creating our most impactful version of our self. The Anxiety Dharma helps to connect the dots between the "how" and the "why" of our lives; empowering the reader with the tools, techniques, and strategies to regain control of their thoughts, their actions, and their life's true purpose.
