Resilience: Handling Anxiety in a Time of Crisis

I wrote Resilience: Handling Anxiety in a Time of Crisis for people who face the current coronavirus pandemic and its threats to health, communities and jobs. In the book, you’ll find insights and advice on how to confront uncertainty and maintain positive mental health.

It’s a challenging time for people who experience anxiety, and even people who usually don’t experience it are finding their moods are getting the better of them. Anxiety hits hard and its symptoms are unmistakable, but sometimes in the rush and confusion of uncertainty we miss those symptoms until it’s too late. When things seem to be coming undone, it’s still possible to recognize the onset of anxiety and act to prevent the worst of it. The simple steps taught in this book can help you overcome the turmoil.

"George not only outlines how to recognize your anxiety, but also how to work with and ultimately transmute it so it becomes a tool for positive, personal growth."  

Dr. Nicole Lipkin Psy.D.
