Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Sample Book Insights:

#1 I have struggled with anxiety since my 20s. I have always been a striving high-achiever. I achieved a first-class degree in psychology, while simultaneously working nights to help support myself financially. I bought a one-way ticket and took an 18-month journey through Australia, New Zealand, and South East Asia.

#2 I had episodes of derealization, which meant I felt like I was out of control of my own body. I was eight months pregnant when I first experienced a migraine, and I was diagnosed with a mini-stroke. I was afraid of having another one while pregnant.

#3 I had tried everything to fix myself, from medication to changing my diet and exercise routines. Nothing had worked or lasted. In 2013, my software business hit the seven-figure mark, and there was nothing there. I concluded the work I was doing must be the problem.

#4 We’re not going to talk about anxiety itself. It’s not relevant if what you want is to start feeling better. We’re going to focus on what it means to live in peace, and how to do that.
