About this audiobook
There’s no denying the troubling uptick in reports of severe anxiety that’s happening all around us. Anxiety and stress are normal emotions that can be an important part of our everyday experience — but when it’s persistent or begins affecting your day-to-day life, it’s important to know what’s going on and how to handle it.
Making Sense of Anxiety and Stress offers a roadmap for understanding and managing stress and anxiety. Drawing from his experience as a research psychologist, Saarim Aslam provides a comprehensive, evidence-based understanding of anxiety and stress that specifically addresses each of the three ways anxiety affects us: in our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Aslam also shares quick tips for dealing with feelings of anxiety in a pinch, as well as exercises so you can begin applying what you’ve learned right away.
Making Sense of Anxiety and Stress is your scientific one stop for managing anxiety, packed with new and time-tested insights on a crucial topic.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Really enjoyable, some very useful and realistic skills presented in a very personal and relatable manner.
I was easily able to follow along mentally, though I do want to re-listen and jot down a few notes. I can't wait to implement them in my life.1 person found this helpful
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is beyond psychology. It is a drive into the realities of our everyday limiting fantasies and fashioning out ready tools of triumph. A must read in today's stressfully anxious life.
