Anxiety causing disorders are scary, confusing and beyond most
people's comprehension. The idea of this deliberately concise book
is to give you the information and understanding that you'll need
to begin your mental health healing journey as quickly as possible.
Most sufferers of anxiety-causing disorders have little idea why
their mind is seemingly working against them. They may understand
the mechanics of anxiety but not why they suffer from it and why it
won't just go away. Even those who have been in long term therapy
frustratingly find that instead of resolving their issues, they
just seem to be talking around in circles making very little
progress. Understating how the mind works, creating a mindset
conducive to change and having a plan of action are crucial in
overcoming any mental health challenge. This book explains the
mind's operation and the creation of belief systems. It explores
the origins of anxiety causing problems and the subconscious
drivers that maintain them. It touches on the influence of the mind
on the body and its involvement with chronic pain and illness. It
also includes some empowering ideas that will challenge the way you
think about yourself. Not only is the information in this book
suitable for sufferers, but for anyone helping a family member or
friend with an anxiety causing problem. Even health professionals
will benefit from reading this book as it endeavours to explain why
much of the good advice they give to their clients so often falls
on barren ground.
Why, with absolutely no idea what Brexit actually meant, did the UK
vote for Brexit? Why, rather than vote for the best-qualified
candidate ever to stand as US President, did voters opt for a
reality TV star with no political experience? In both cases, the
winning side promised change and offered hope. They told a story
voters longed to hear. And in the absence of greater, more unifying
narratives, then true or not, voters plumped for the best story
available. Once upon a time our society was rich in stories. They
brought us together and helped us to understand the world and
ourselves. We called them myths. Today, we have a myth gap - a
vacuum that Alex Evans argues powerfully and persuasively is both
dangerous and an opportunity. In this time of global crisis and
transition- mass migration, inequality, resource scarcity, and
climate change - It is stories, rather than facts and
pie-charts,that will animate us and bring us together. It is by
finding new myths, those that speak to us of renewal and
restoration, that we will navigate our way to a better future.
Drawing on his first-hand experience as a political adviser within
British government and at the United Nations, and examining the
history of climate change campaigning and recent contests such as
Brexit and the US presidential election, Alex Evans explores: *how
tomorrow's activists are using narratives for change, * how modern
stories have been used and abused, * where we might find the right
myths that will take us forward
