Eliminate Negative Thinking

Human brains evolved to scan for threats, so painful memories tend to stick more sharply than happy ones, and we reflexively hunt for what could go wrong, picturing the worst possible outcome. Howell explains that when this habit takes hold, it can hide the openings life offers, including practical answers to the very worries driving the spiral. Left unchecked, that narrowed view can dim everyday pleasures and pave the way to depression.

Derick Howell, an anxiety coach with decades of experience, wrote the book as a guide for readers who want to break this cycle.
