改造焦慮大腦: 善用腦科學避開焦慮迴路, 提升專注力、生產力及創意力

內容簡介

內容簡介 正視焦慮的力量！腦神經科學家Wendy Suzuki發現，現代人亟欲透過各種舒緩身心的管道擺脫焦慮造成的困擾，卻忽略了焦慮情緒為我們帶來的正面影響，若我們能夠以好奇心的角度去看待焦慮，我們或許能夠因此察覺先機，把握機會；或洞悉危險，為我們趨吉避凶。學習面對焦慮並善用他，反而能替我們的生活帶來改善。World-renowned neuroscientist and author of Healthy Brain, Happy Life has developed an “absolute game-changer” (Conscious Conversations podcast) for managing unwarranted anxiety and turning it into a powerful asset.We are living in the age of anxiety, a situation that often makes us feel as if we are locked into an endless cycle of stress, sleeplessness, and worry. But what if we had a way to leverage our anxiety to help us solve problems and fortify our well-being? What if, instead of seeing anxiety as a curse, we could recognize it for the unique gift that it is?As a neuroscientist, Dr. Wendy Suzuki has discovered a paradigm-shifting truth about anxiety: yes, it is uncomfortable, but it is also essential for our survival. In fact, anxiety is a key component of our ability to live optimally. Every emotion we experience has an evolutionary purpose, and anxiety is designed to draw our attention to a number of negative emotions. If we simply approach anxiety as something to avoid, get rid of, or dampen, we actually miss an opportunity to not only manage the symptoms of anxiety better but also discover ways to improve our lives. Listening to our worries from a place of curiosity, instead of fear, can actually guide us onto a path that leads to joy.“Suzuki draws on decades of neuroscience, including her own research, and leavens her learning with a little personal storytelling to create a practical, science-backed guidebook for those seeking such a transformation” (The Wall Street Journal)."
