Publisher's summary

Anxiety is real — but it isn’t the end of your story.

Dr. John Delony knows what anxiety feels like. He’s walked that dark road himself, but he found light and hope on the other side of it. Bringing together his own journey and two decades of counseling and research, he walks you through:

  • The four biggest myths about anxiety and the life-changing truth
  • Practical steps you can take today to start getting your life back
  • Long-term strategies for healing to help you move forward

John will show you that most of what you’ve heard about anxiety is wrong. Things like:

  • If you have anxiety, you’re broken and need to be fixed.
  • Anxiety is a disease that can only be cured with medicine.
  • Anxiety is caused by your genetics.

While mental health is complex, our culture has made anxiety into something it’s not. For the majority of people who face anxiety, the truth is simpler than we think: Anxiety is an alarm. It’s a signal — nothing more and nothing less. Anxiety is simply our body’s way of telling us something is wrong. If we stop and listen, we can calm the alarm and move forward into healing and hope.

Quick and worthwhile listen

I was a little concerned when I first started to listen because I felt like the author did not think medicine for anxiety was a good idea at all. However, he address medication further in the book and talks about how it can be helpful in your healing process. Very helpful advice and practical steps for dealing with your anxiety.
You can finish listening in one day and start putting the steps in place to give you some relief.

Extremely Helpful!

This was an excellent fast read shedding light on the misnomers of anxiety and explaining its true meaning. John explains how anxiety is an alarm signaling a deeper root and then gives short term and long term action items to turn down the alarm. Fantastic!

Very helpful!

Excellent content, very helpful and relatable! This helps me to reframe anxiety by seeing it as an alarm system doing its job instead of a defect.
