World-renowned neuroscientist and author of Healthy Brain, Happy Life has developed an “absolute game-changer” (Conscious Conversations podcast) for managing unwarranted anxiety and turning it into a powerful asset.
We are living in the age of anxiety, a situation that often makes us feel as if we are locked into an endless cycle of stress, sleeplessness, and worry. But what if we had a way to leverage our anxiety to help us solve problems and fortify our well-being? What if, instead of seeing anxiety as a curse, we could recognize it for the unique gift that it is?
As a neuroscientist, 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 a number of negative emotions. If we simply approach anxiety as something to avoid, get rid of, or dampen, we actually miss an opportunity to not only manage the symptoms of anxiety better but also discover ways to improve our lives. Listening to our worries from a place of curiosity, instead of fear, can actually guide us onto a path that leads to joy.
In a time when crossing guards are posted to prevent high schoolers
from jumping in front of trains and parents shelling out $100K for
packaged college applications, education has become a mad race to
grab the Ivy ring. Based on experience in admissions with the Ivy
League and other highly competitive universities, emerging
scientific evidence on the impact of emotional intelligence and
mindfulness, and discussions with admissions officers, students,
families, and high school counselors, this book is a guide on how
to go through the existing, however brutish, college applications
process with less stress and anxiety, and more joy and mindfulness.
Equipped with the powerful tools of emotional intelligence and
mindfulness, this work acknowledges the reality of what the process
is, and challenges young people to reach for a more meaningful
ideal for themselves. This book shares a look at the holistic
admissions process and offers an alternative one to the current
climate of untenable stress. This updated model aims to shift
mindsets from treating the admissions process as a ruthless
competition with one externally-prescribed definition of success,
to a step in a lifelong journey of curiosity and wonder. By
building self-awareness, compassion, resilience, it's possible to
navigate the process with greater authenticity, balance, and joy.
