Good Anxiety: Harnessing the Power of the Most Misunderstood Emotion with Wendy Suzuki

Wednesday, January 127:00—8:00 PMVirtual

This program is rescheduled for Wednesday, January 12 at 7pm.

From Simon and Schuster - 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 vulnerability. If we simply approach it as something to avoid, get rid of, or dampen, we actually miss an opportunity to improve our lives. Listening to our anxieties from a place of curiosity, and without fear, can actually guide us onto a path that leads to joy.

Drawing on her own intimate struggles and based on cutting-edge research, Dr. Suzuki will talk about ideas from her guidebook for managing unwarranted anxiety and turning it into a powerful asset. In the tradition of Quiet and Thinking, Fast and Slow, Good Anxiety has the power to permanently change how we understand anxiety and, more importantly, how we can use it to improve our lives for the better.
