About this listen
Are you speeding up and rushing around when anxious, stressed, or afraid? Seven Percent Slower is a friendly, easy-to-listen-to guide to understanding and breaking the speed habit that fuels your anxiety and stress fires.
When anxiety, stress, and fear show up, you speed up. The bad news is that this is making things worse for you. The good news is that you can learn to break the speed habit. If you are on a quest to find a calmer, less stressed, and less frantic life, learning to slow down can go a long way toward achieving that goal.
Seven Percent Slower will help you understand how the fear center in your brain drives your speed habit, why this was a good idea thousands of years ago, and why this is a bad idea in the modern world. The audiobook will teach you how to recognize your speed habits and how to slowly change them over time. Seven Percent Slower will help you understand why you may be resistant to slowing down, how slowing down can change your life, and how concepts like mindfulness come into play.
Full of practical advice and sprinkled with humor, Seven Percent Slower is destined to become a useful addition to your stress management and coping skills toolbox.

Stop searching for more ways to fix your anxiety !!
I went to multiple therapists and purchased numerous breathing apps along with oils herbs remedies and followed neuroscientists on social media that are known to be the best experts and purchased endless books !😩😩 I legitimately did not find relief until I read Drews book and listened to his podcast and followed his Facebook page. The answer is truly within you all you have to do is follow what he speaks about. 🙏God bless his work

100% worth the read
Everyone in modern society should read this book, Drew has a fantastic way of explaining things in a beautifully blunt fashion which can be very convincing and confidence inspiring. This book is the perfect pairing for "The Anxious Truth" however this book is a great read for those without anxiety disorders as well.

Very repetitive and not much meat
Play a drinking game and take a shot every time he says “lizard brain”, you will be 7% coherent. I was hoping for meat but it’s just so repetitive that I actually quit after 6 chapters. Just didn’t fit my style of learning.
