How to stop worrying and start living

Please tell me how it is as it has been collecting dust on my coffee table for the past 5 months as I tend to my anxiety attacks on my couch

42 Laws of Power by Robert Greene. A bestseller in the US prisons.

Not sure how severe your anxiety is but mine was interfering with enjoying my daily life. I got back into therapy to get down to the bottom of it (I didn’t want to medicate). My therapist was able to recommend books that helped address the root of the problem and allowed me to understand and validate my feelings. Highly recommend!

What were the books they recommend??

Radical honesty, radical acceptance, don't bring it to work, running on empty, three laws of performance, the disease to please, the body keeps the score, The Diamond Cutter and anything about non attachment to outcome you can find.

Also Antifragile - Nassim Taleb

But I really want to know what to expect around the “rigorous” label. Does it mean I’ll be buried in coursework the other 2-3 days?
