About this ebook

Is there a space between where you are and where you want to be? Do you resist overwhelming situations, wanting to avoid discomfort (while telling yourself you just need more motivation)? Do you feel intoxicated with inspiration one minute, only to find yourself binge-watching "Real Housewives" not long thereafter, having slayed nothing other than the snack cabinet?

 

You want to do things differently, but something keeps getting in your way. Maybe you spend too much time in your head. Maybe you panic when things start to feel "too much."

The solution? JUST DO NOTHING.

 

Through this humorous, insightful guide, you will discover data-driven, science-backed tools that:

  • Empower you to understand and take control of your emotions
  • Break through the barriers holding you back
  • Show you how to create your own sliding scale of distress so you can increase your ability to tolerate discomfort
  • Help you learn to let feelings be instead of letting them go

As counterintuitive as it may sound, when you learn how to just do nothing with the chaotic thoughts and feelings swimming in your head, your life will change for the better. And, before you know it, you'll be comfortably engaging in experiences that once had you running for that snack cabinet.

 

EDITORIAL REVIEWS
"Practical. Friendly. Funny. As usual, Joanna knocks it out of the park with sound advice that you can actually use!"
—Drew Linsalata, author of The Anxious Truth and Seven Percent Slower

"Life has its ways of stressing us all out. In Just Do Nothing, Joanna Hardis helps us change our agenda from one of fruitlessly fighting the discomfort to one of leaning into it and relating to it better. Her amazing book takes scientifically proven cognitive-behavioral therapy strategies and blends them with her own wit, humor, illustrative case examples, and useful experiential exercises (and even a few f-bombs). You will definitely enjoy her entertaining and creative writing—but more importantly, you will benefit from Joanna's knowledge and expertise."
—Jon Abramowitz, PhD Professor of Psychology at University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill

 

"Hardis argues that although many of us know what to do when life gets hard, how to actually do it confounds people—and that 'toxic positivity' and inspirational quotes don't cut it. Just Do Nothing makes the case that healing and lasting change come from learning to tolerate the discomfort of feelings and differentiating between 'I can't' and 'I can't yet.'"
—Editor's Pick, Booklife Reviews

 

"Sweet and to the point, Just Do Nothing author Joanna Hardis combines personal anecdotes with her skills as a professional therapist to help readers lay new neurological pathways to allow for lasting change….Just Do Nothing is a book that can help anyone in any stage of life. The chapters are short but packed with valuable information that will make readers think about the choices they make and help them analyze their own behavior, habits, and feelings."

—5 Star Review, Los Angeles Book Review
