Ted Audio Collective

Hey listeners, it's your host Dr. Shoshana Ungerlater.

Here's a familiar scene.

You get a simple email and suddenly your heart's pounding.

You've sweaty palms and unknowing in your gut.

Hello, anxiety.

The unwanted guest we've all entertained.

Most of us are quick to usher it away,

but what if we've been getting it all wrong?

What if instead of resisting it,

we could harness the emotion and redirect it

to become a useful tool in our lives?

In her insightful talk for Ted's The Way We Work series,

Neuroscientist Wendy Suzuki flips the script on anxiety.

Listen as she uncovers how simple strategies

can keep your nerves in check

and maybe even transform them into your superpower.

Hey, listeners, a quick favor.

We are conducting an audience survey,

and we'd be really grateful if you could take just

a few minutes to respond.
