Live from the headquarters of Ramsey Solutions, it's the Ramsey show where we help people build well, do work that they love and create actual amazing relationships.

I'm Dave Ramsey, your host, Dr. John Deloney Ramsey personality, number one best-selling author of the book, Change Your Past, Change Your Future.

And the new book was what's on my mind. The man, this book is absolutely going crazy. It comes out one week from now. Building a non-anxious life, one week it's going to be out.

And that's why I got John on here for this first segment because this book is setting all kinds of publishing records at Ramsey and sales. It's doing really good. Apparently there's some anxious folk out there.

Yeah, can I tell you the coolest thing that's happened so far, the numbers are amazing and they're fun. I know no doubt about it, making money's great and helping people, this many people saying, hey, I want to help in that number of people is what's important.

What's been really amazing, Dave, is as a part of any book sale, you send out galley copies, which are just for the press, right?

You know that and it's I'm doing these interviews podcast, podcast, podcast, podcast, radio interviews from people all over the place.

And we're getting out of the podcast and they're saying, hey, you got a second, I read this book and my wife and I sat down and had a hard conversation last night, or I just pre-ordered three of these books from my family members.

And so the folks who are getting the early early drafts of these things, they're not being a broadcaster, they're being a person, they're turning it's it's been really powerful.

If you turn media people into humans, this is a magical book.

So yeah, it's I'm getting excited to get it out there, man. That's cool. Anxiety is not the problem. It's the symptom. It's the fire alarm going off. This is something's broken.

And so you talk about the six choices in your daily choices in the book that we can make to build a solid foundation in our life.

So when something scary comes at us, we can be prepared instead of overwhelmed with anxiety.

Right. And most people say, where do I start? Where do I start? Where do I start?

We've all heard of the phrase the attention economy. I think that is a scandalously positive spin on what I like to call the distraction economy or the look over here economy.

And so we've been trained for the last 25 to 50 years. If you've got a problem, it's somebody else's fault.

Buy this, scroll this, run over here, look over here, numb out, Netflix it away instead of getting to the root problem.

And the challenge with that is your body knows your body knows it doesn't matter how nice your cars are, your body knows you're probably about to get fired.

It doesn't matter how many dates you've been on your body knows my marriage is falling apart. And so you have to start by choosing reality.

And that's just step one, right? What is the actual state of your health?

When's the last time you got a blood test? When's the last time you sat with a doctor and said, I'm not feeling great.
