Summary of Reid Wilson's Stopping the Noise in Your Head

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Worry is a useful tool when it helps us solve our problems. But when it becomes a bothersome noise in our heads, we need to kick it to the curb. #2 I have spent most of my career working with anxious clients. When people ask what drew me to this field, I answer, It takes one to treat one. I experience a combination of guilt and worry when I don’t set aside time to work on a project, and I constantly worry that I’m not being productive enough. #3 Worry is meant to be an initial response to a problem, not the problem itself. If we don’t place our worries within the problem-solving process, they will hurt us emotionally. #4 Worry can serve an essential function by helping us solve legitimate problems, but it can also be debilitating when it gets in the way of our performance. We will look at when anxious worrying disrupts us instead of helping us.
