Anxiety is real—but it isn’t the end of your story. Dr. John Delony knows what anxiety feels like. He’s walked that dark road himself, but he found light and hope on the other side of it. Bringing together his own journey and two decades of counseling and research, he walks you through: The four biggest myths about anxiety and the life-changing truth Practical steps you can take today to start getting your life back Long-term strategies for healing to help you move forward John will show you that most of what you’ve heard about anxiety is wrong. Things like: If you have anxiety, you’re broken and need to be fixed Anxiety is a disease that can only be cured with medicine Anxiety is caused by your genetics While mental health is complex, our culture has made anxiety into something it’s not. For the majority of people who face anxiety, the truth is simpler than we think: anxiety is an alarm. It’s a signal—nothing more and nothing less. Anxiety is simply our body’s way of telling us something is wrong. If we stop and listen, we can calm the alarm and move forward into healing and hope.

Delony doesn’t promise instant relief; the path is not easy, but resilience and peace can be found amidst life’s challenges.
"Why are my anxiety alarms going off all the time?" "Why do I feel like I'm in an endless cycle of blame and anger and impatience?" "Why are the people I love most melting down around me?" No one needs to be told that our lives are filled with more anxiety than ever before. We know it. Our bodies can feel it. The questions we really need to answer "Why?" and "Is there anything we can do about it?" Dr. John Delony decided to get to the root of the issue by mapping out a plan to understand where our anxiety is coming from and the actions we can take to change it (because he's been there too). Over the past twenty years, he's learned through research, personal experience, and walking alongside countless others that there are six daily choices people have to make to create a non-anxious life: Choosing Reality Choosing Connection Choosing Freedom Choosing Health and Healing Choosing Mindfulness Choosing Belief In this no-nonsense, straightforward approach to mental health, John will break down exactly what each choice means and how to start making it on a daily basis. Now, here's the truth: Those choices aren't easy, and anxiety isn't going to magically disappear. But if you commit to building a non-anxious life, you'll be able to better respond to whatever life throws at you. You'll grow from hard challenges. You'll learn to find peace during chaos. And you will learn to be well.

In our default state, our brains constantly get in the way of effective communication. They are lazy, angry, immature, and distracted. They can make a difficult conversation impossible. But Andrew Newberg, M.D., and Mark Waldman have discovered a powerful strategy called Compassionate Communication that allows two brains to work together as one. Using brainscans as well as data collected from workshops given to MBA students at Loyola Marymount University, and clinical data from both couples in therapy and organizations helping caregivers cope with patient suffering, Newberg and Waldman have seen that Compassionate Communication can reposition a difficult conversation to lead to a satisfying conclusion. Whether you are negotiating with your boss or your spouse, the brain works the same way and responds to the same cues. The truth, though, is that you don't have to understand how Compassionate Communication works. You just have to do it. Some of the simple and effective takeaways in this book include: • Make sure you are relaxed; yawning several times before (not during) the meeting will do the trick • Never speak for more than 20-30 seconds at a time. After that they other person's window of attention closes. • Use positive speech; you will need at least three positives to overcome the effect of every negative used • Speak slowly; pause between words. This is critical, but really hard to do. • Respond to the other person; do not shift the conversation. • Remember that the brain can only hold onto about four ideas at one time Highly effective across a wide range of settings, Compassionate Communication is an excellent tool for conflict resolution but also for simply getting your point across or delivering difficult news.
This book is a non-fiction representation of my life. I don't know that I will ever write another one, I just felt in order to move forward in my unfortunate life, I needed to write about it to help others, as well as myself. It is graphic and recommended for those over 18 and those who are adult enough to understand what they are reading. I have left out places I have gone, things I have done, things that are only for me, but for the most part, the book gives information on myself and all of those around me that hurt me, lied to me, abused me, beat me, mistreated me in any way, or that helped in some way. If someone reading this finds that they are not part of it, it's because they didn't hurt me, abuse me, lie to me that I know of or their time in my life was so insignificant that mention of it was unnecessary. I hope that by reading this book, it will teach people about things they didn't know and find understanding. I don't know that this book will provide any hope to anyone. I don't care who judges me in reading this because they have no right. In writing this book, I'm giving up my hate and closing a door to it. I'll be moving forward with what I am doing to take care of me, hoping that someday not only the forgiveness I've given, but forgetting will come as well. From this book on, I plan to travel and see the places that I've longed to see all my life, experience things above and beyond, be able to donate to my love of the animals. In shelters; that are being beat, murdered, abused, neglected and given bad names. I'm hoping with this book, that I will be left alone. The people that are no longer in my life chose to close that door by disrespecting me in some way. As you will find in this book, I do not miss people, I dismiss them, with only two exceptions. I have been alone for over a year and I did leave this part out of my book. I have no intentions to ever have another relationship, I do not ever want to be touched again, nor do I have the love I used to have in me anymore, the only love I have left is for few friends and the animals. There will be few people that will know of how to find me, as I plan to go off-grid, another way to save my endangered species, like the Polar Bear. Sometimes in life, you just have to find that you weren't meant to have the life you wanted, that you originally started out to find, something you wanted that was so much more than what you received. It's hard to hold on, and it's hard to let go. But, if things didn't end badly, they wouldn't end. I truly and honestly have never cared what anyone has ever thought of me because judge and thou shall be judged. I only had three that I cared about enough to care what they thought. One is passed away, and sometimes when things are over, they are just over. There are people that come and go in and out of your life for a time, not many have brought me joy, but I've had a lifetime of heartache. With this book, that ends now. There will never another second chance, the first one is the only one you get. For the ones that are gone, you know why you are and you will not contaminate me anymore. I have been hurt to the depths of my soul and beyond. But, now, with help, I will never allow it again. I believe in God taking care of those that Karma doesn't. Another thing, I want the world to know, I am not sorry for anything in my life that I have experienced. I am not sorry for my actions or in-actions. The only time I said I was sorry was when I was forced to. With two exceptions in this book that you will find. My motto has always been, if you're going to be sorry, then don't do it. And for those of you that I have hurt with my words, you hurt me first. I have no regrets, except for the people in my life I let in too long that caused the further damage that I didn't need, that started from childhood. I wish I hadn't stayed in situations, I wish I would have seen them for what they were. It's in the book.

In Love Your Life, Not Theirs, Rachel Cruze shines a spotlight on the most damaging money habit we have: comparing ourselves to others. Then she unpacks seven essential money habits for living the life we really want--a life in line with our values, where we can afford the things we want to buy without being buried under debt, stress, and worry. The Joneses are broke. Life looks good, but hidden beneath that glossy exterior are credit card bills, student loans, car payments, and an out-of-control mortgage. Their money situation is a mess, and they're trying to live a life they simply can't afford. So why exactly do we try so hard to keep up with the Joneses? Are we really living the lives we want, or are we chasing someone else's dream, just trying to keep up appearances on social media, at church, and in our community? Why are we letting other people set the pace for our own family's finances? In Love Your Life, Not Theirs, Rachel shows you how to buy and do the things that are important to you--the right way. That starts by choosing to quit the comparisons, reframing the way you think about money, and developing new habits like avoiding debt, living on a plan, watching your spending, saving for the future, having healthy conversations about money, and giving. These habits work, and Rachel is living proof. Now, she wants to empower you to live the life you've always dreamed of without creating the debt, stress, and worry that are all too often part of the deal. Social media isn't real life, and trying to keep up with the Joneses will never get you anywhere. It's time to live--and love--your life, not theirs. "I've never read a book about money that takes this approach--and that's a good thing! Comparison has a way of weaving itself throughout all aspects of our lives, including our money. In Love Your Life, Not Theirs, Rachel Cruze outlines the seven money habits that really matter--and they have nothing to do with keeping up with the Joneses!" Candace Cameron-Bure Actress, author, and co-host of The View "Love Your Life, Not Theirs is full of the kind of practical, straightforward advice we've come to expect from Rachel Cruze. She offers guidance on paying down debt, smart saving, and the right way to talk to your spouse about money. These indispensable tips can help with day-to-day spending decisions and put you on a path to establishing healthy financial habits." Susan Spencer Editor-in-Chief for Woman's Day "Cruze's self-deprecating and honest voice is a great resource for anyone wanting to take charge of their money. With humor and approachability, she helps her readers set themselves up for success and happiness, no matter what current financial state they may be in." Kimberly Williams-Paisley New York Times best-selling author of Where the Light Gets In "In today's world of social media, the temptation to play the comparison game is stronger than ever. Love Your Life, Not Theirs is the perfect reminder that, when it comes to money, comparison is a game you can't win. A terrific--and much needed--read." Jean Chatzky Financial Editor, NBC TODAY and Host of HerMoney with Jean Chatzky Podcast
