It's the Ramsey Show, where we help people, build wealth, do work that they love, and create actual, amazing relationships.

Thanks for joining us America. Dr. John Deloney, Ramsey Personality is my co-host today.

He's a number one best-selling author of the book, Own Your Past, Change Your Future.

Host of the Dr. John Deloney Show. And today, we are launching his latest book on presale.

It comes out on October 3rd. You can buy it today, beginning today, on presale thousands of you already have.

Thank you. Pretty amazing. The new book is building a non-anxious life.

We did a quick read, chapter book we call them. They're like 37 pages, in other words, on called redefining anxiety.

150,000 of you bought that so far. That's a $10 quick thing on the way anxiety really works because anxiety is everywhere, John. It's a real issue.

And we have a culture that's designed to try to stop anxiety. And that's as smart as going into your house and taking all the smoke detectors off the wall and the ceiling and putting them in a drawer and thinking your house is somehow now safer and better off than it was before.

Anxiety is almost never the problem. It's always that alarm. It's the alarm that lets you know, hey, something your house is on fire.

Right. And so actually, Dr. Wendy Suzuki, who's a researcher at NYU, she calls anxiety. She says, anxiety is your friend. It's there to help you out.

I may not go that far because I've been beat up with it pretty bad, but it is something trying to get your attention.

So if you're telling you something's wrong, it's right. So if you want to have a knot stressed out, not over anxious, not burned out life, you got to change some things in your home.

You got to change some things in your life. And the alarms will get ringing, man. When there's no fire, no smoke, the alarms go off.

And there are six daily choices you talk about in the book to do that. One of those is connection where we've lost relationships in this country and in this world.

A lot of them have been lost to the cell phone. I actually was making fun of some of our friends at lunch today.

Four ladies that have lunch today gather every day down here, I sat down at their table. And all four of them are sitting there on their phone.

And I'm like, y'all are awful. I mean, they said, well, we're talking and I'm like, you're texting across the table. How are you talking?

I'm looking all four of you have your nose and your phone. And they were, well, we were talking a few minutes ago.

But we've lost the ability to have relationship. There's actually some research that suggests just having the phone on the table within, within an ability to see it.
