And for a while, it works. Meditation and mental exercises offer us relief, but there is always something--a work deadline, a family emergency, a particularly distressing newsbreak--that disrupts our sense of peace and sends us right back inside the same anxious spiral we've been trying to climb out of. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIs there a way to reduce our anxiety, not just in the moment, but in every moment after that? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfter a lifetime of struggling with anxiety, Martha Beck studied just about everything there was to know about how to calm down. What she realized is that the analytical part of our brain--so valued in Western culture--is the same structure responsible for amping up anxiety. In other words, we cannot logic our way to relief. In\u003ci\u003e Beyond Anxiety\u003c\/i\u003e, she reveals that to find calm, we must activate an entirely different part of our brain, one responsible for curiosity, wonder, and, most of all, creativity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on social science, Eastern wisdom, and the latest research in neuroscience and psychology, Beck shows how to move from anxiety into purpose through the power of creativity. Using techniques tested first-hand on hundreds of clients, she teaches us how to activate the creativity spiral by approaching problems with a sense of curiosity, making pleasure a priority, and inviting play and spontaneity into our every day. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnxiety does not have to keep us from finding our life's purpose. \u003ci\u003eBeyond Anxiety \u003c\/i\u003einvites us into a new way of being, one filled with greater abundance, joy, and possibility.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMartha Beck, PhD, is a Harvard-trained sociologist, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author, world-renowned life coach, and speaker.
