These two books are fantastic. You wrote the book in 2000 that we published in 2015 called Healthy Brain Happy Life and then your second book which came out in America called Good Anxiety which is a phenomenal book that really helps to refrain how we think about anxiety. I think that reframing helps us experience it differently but also.

Why people recommend it

Good Anxiety by Wendy Suzuki is a book that explores how to reframe our understanding of anxiety and harness it constructively. On On Purpose with Jay Shetty, host Jay Shetty recommended that every listener go out and grab a copy of the book at the conclusion of his interview with the author. Similarly, Steven Bartlett featured the author on The Diary Of A CEO, where he praised her body of work and highlighted the significant value of this particular American release. Bartlett noted that the book serves as a phenomenal resource that fundamentally helps shift the way readers think about and approach anxiety. During the conversation, Bartlett also brought up the title differences between the US and UK editions, confirming that the work published across the Atlantic under this title offers a powerful reframing tool for mental well-being. Both podcasters emphasized the practical benefits of the author's research and writing, encouraging their large audiences to engage with her insights on brain health and emotional resilience.
