Addicted to Anxiety: How to Break the Habit (original) Owen O'Kane

Feeling anxious is part of being human; sometimes it can even be necessary or useful.

In this groundbreaking book, bestselling author and psychotherapist Owen O’Kane explores how we all unwittingly build habits around our anxiety. This, he argues, is how we become addicted – the behaviours and thought patterns that help us feel safe in the short term ultimately serve to perpetuate it. Put simply, we get hooked.
