Summary

How do you turn your anxiety into a superpower?

If you're like most people, when you hear the word anxiety, you probably don't think of it as a gift. But what if, instead of learning to simply cope with increased anxiety or prolonged stress, you could transform them into a superpower?

I'm excited to have Dr. Wendy Suzuki with us today. She's a Professor of Neural Science and Psychology at NYU and author of the brand-new book Good Anxiety: Harnessing the Power of the Most Misunderstood Emotion.

Constant stress can shrink your brain, which is why learning to manage it is vital for prolonged brain health. Listen in as Wendy reveals simple tools to transform your anxiety so you can feel better, think clearer, and unlock your limitless potential.
