Future Tense: Why Anxiety Is Good for You (Even Though It Feels Bad)

This book is absolutely amazing. I have read zillions of books to help me sort through this complicated emotion called “anxiety.” I have tried to manage it, fight it, avoid it, embrace it and understand it. I never thought that simply thinking about anxiety in a DIFFERENT way could actually reframe my experience of it. Coincidentally, I was in the middle of reading this book when I experienced a sudden health scare with a lot of uncertainty. This book helped me see that all of the intense anxiety I was feeling is really just an aspect of myself trying to survive, learn and adapt. Thanks to this book, I will try to think of anxiety like that old “Know it All” annoying friend who tries to care for you by constantly giving unsolicited advice. It is my choice to listen or not. It is also an opportunity to be grateful that anxiety is actually just looking out for my best interests and well-being!! This book truly moved me. I am grateful Dr. Tracy Dennis-Tiwary for her wisdom, warmth and unique perspective.

As someone who’s studied the mind and brain for many years, in particular stress , I was a little skeptical when I heard Dr Tracy interviewed on the Chris Evans show.Although a tad doubtful, I was compelled to add it to my collection of numerous books on the subject.Well, fair to say I’ve been completely won over. Not only have I learn a different application on how to interpret anxiety, but I’ve also acquired new understandings of worry and how to improve creativity; but also performance and many other areas which our negative bias compromises.A superb well written book with boundless vulnerability and meaningful, effective advice.Your investment in Future Tense will be gratefully received by your future self 😊

We all have anxiety- it’s an integral part of the human experience. How we understand and process it determines our quality of life - Every. Single. Day. In Future Tense, Tracy Dennis-Tiwary expertly explains in layman’s terms the evolution in human understanding and treatment of anxiety. And, best of all, her book offers a clear path for developing a healthy, purposeful mindset for dealing with our anxiety.

Great condition. Arrived quickly.

A switch flipped when I read this book. I saw that anxiety can be very productive and could be really helpful not just a negative thing. For me this book has been a game changer.
