Klappentext

Now in paperback! A book for overthinkers by an overthinker. Learn to start living a life you create-no longer burdened by the need to numb yourself from feelings of anxiety and burnout-through insightful stories, journal prompts, and down-to-earth advice from artist and international best-selling author of Unlearn, Humble The Poet. "3 PAGES IN, YOU'LL FEEL 1,000 LBS LIGHTER."- Jay Shetty, #1 New York Times Best-Selling Author"Life doesn't begin after the obstacles, life is the obstacles, and we have to unlearn the idea that we need, or would even want, a life free of chaos, stress, and anxiety. We grow from facing challenges and exploring our limits." This book is for the overthinkers struggling with overwhelm, burnout, and anxiety. If that's you-sipping from a half-empty glass and staring at your phone on the sidelines of your own life-then this book will remind you that you are not alone and share tools to change your life (and your mind). Unanxious encourages readers to face their own stressors and triggers head-on with research-backed techniques and journal prompts. Stories from the author's recent lessons in facing fears by pushing his own boundaries-from ice baths, hot yoga, and ayahuasca journeys to moving to a new city and forging meaningful connections with family and friends-inspire and empower you to stop numbing and avoiding, and start embracing the discomfort and doing what you want to do. With a beginner's mindset approach and a vulnerable sensibility, Humble walks alongside you as you journey inward, learning from his mistakes and delivering words of wisdom less like a sage on a mountaintop and more like your most introspective friend.
