Unwinding Anxiety

Archival Summary & Scope

New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Judson Brewer offers a clinically proven, step-by-step plan to break the cycle of worry, fear, and addictive habits.

In an era of rising anxiety, Dr. Brewer reveals how unease fuels common coping behaviors like stress eating, procrastination, and doom scrolling, trapping individuals in persistent "habit loops" that resist rational thought and willpower.

Drawing on over two decades of research and work with thousands of patients—including Olympic athletes and business leaders—Brewer presents brain-based techniques to address anxiety at its source. Readers will learn to identify triggers, defuse them with curiosity, and retrain their brains through mindfulness and other powerful, accessible practices.

This clear, solution-oriented program empowers anyone to overcome anxiety and cultivate lasting calm.
