“Yeah, I think the the US version's called Good Anxiety, isn't it? Slightly different title in the US in the UK.”
“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”
