The Gift of Anxiety - Harnessing...

Diante Fuchs

Your anxiety has an important message for you. Are you listening?

The mistake most people make with anxiety is trying everything in their power to get rid of it. They may try meditation and breathwork, medication or therapy. The aim is almost always the same: to get rid of anxiety because “anxiety is the problem.”

But anxiety is not the problem.

In fact, anxiety is a necessary and useful emotional response that has played a critical role in our survival for millions of years. Unfortunately, most of us have not been taught what to do with anxiety when it becomes loud and intrusive. So we become afraid of it and view anxiety as a problem we want to solve once and for all.

But getting rid of anxiety is impossible because it’s a natural emotional response. And trying to get rid of it only causes more anxiety because the more we fear anxiety, the more we feel it, until we become anxious about being anxious.

Anxiety comes to use when it has an important message. It is our internal alarm system for potential threats in life. It is designed to keep you safe and alert you to areas of your life that need attention. But when you treat anxiety like it is the problem without paying attention to its message for you, the deeper problems remain, and anxiety only gets louder.

In The Gift of Anxiety, clinical psychologist Diante Fuchs offers a new way to respond to anxiety. Sharing the unique EASE Method for working with anxiety, the book offers a powerful, calm approach that has helped hundreds of people transform their relationship with anxiety and with themselves. With this step-by-step guidance anyone can learn to how to stop fighting anxiety, listen to it, and use it as the gift it truly is.

This book is specifically designed to help those suffering from anxiety find peace one simple step at a time.

Russian Politics - A Very Short...

Brian D. Taylor

Russia is rarely out of the news. Yet Russian politics can be difficult to understand. It is powerfully shaped by large, impersonal forces such as geography, and Russia's place in the international political and economic system. At the same time, Russia's formal political institutions, such as the Constitution and electoral procedures, are relatively weak and manipulable compared to those of stable, established democracies. Under these circumstances, powerful leaders represent a source of potential dynamism and change. 
 
 
 
This Very Short Introduction provides a guide to understanding Russian Politics that goes beyond the headlines, offering a vivid account of the key forces driving Russian politics. It places Russia in a global context while explaining its internal political development. Several major themes run through the book, including the primacy of the state over society, the role of the so-called "West," which has represented a source of inspiration, of threat, and of competition for generations of Russians, and the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. The Soviet collapse brought about dramatic change across multiple spheres, from the nature of the political and economic system to the country's borders and who counted as a citizen. To this day, Russia is still working its way through the consequences of these transformations.
