Calma el mono que tienes en la cabeza

Do you feel like anxiety is running your life? Do problems keep you up at night, and do you worry even about things beyond your control? You're not alone: ​​more than half the world faces these difficulties. That voice that checks the door a thousand times or makes you alert to every little detail is the "monkey mind," a state of constant restlessness that Buddhist sages described centuries ago. For those who live with anxiety, a part of the brain always seems to be on high alert, ready to react to any unexpected event, even if it's just an everyday occurrence: a minor setback can be perceived as a real threat. Based on cognitive-behavioral therapy, this book will help you work on three roots of anxiety: intolerance of uncertainty, perfectionism, and excessive responsibility. Through clear examples and illustrations, you'll learn to observe and question your thoughts, identify the fears that underlie them, and choose freely. When you quiet the monkey in your head, you'll discover that living in peace with yourself is not only possible, but can become your new reality.
