Summary
Winner of the 2020 Nautilus Award in Psychology
Anxiety is unavoidable: Suffering is optional.
“Anxiety Rx is unlike any book on anxiety and a must-read for anyone who suffers with chronic worry.” (Nicole LePera, PhD)
The Holistic Psychologist
On February 8, 2013, I was a highly anxious and burned-out 52-year-old physician. That night, as I left my clinic in my usual chronic state of anxiety, I wondered if life was worth living. But I had to be onstage as a stand-up comedian an hour later, so killing myself would have to wait. However, I never got to the comedy club. I suffered an injury that night that would end my medical career.
I’ve dealt with anxiety since I was a teenager. My father was schizophrenic and bipolar, and the chaos and pain of his illness created tremendous alarm in my system. My mother did her best to love and take care of my brother and me, but she had her own issue with chronic anxiety. I often say my mother was neurotic and my father was psychotic, so my psyche didn’t stand much of a chance!
I wrote this book to make my father’s eventual suicide and the suffering of my family mean something: to help others like me who experienced chronic worry to understand and fix the pain that was sucking the life out of their lives. I have degrees and advanced training in medicine, neuroscience, and developmental psychology, but much of what I’ll share with you came out of my experiences in very unscientific places.
This book is unique in its blend of hard neuroscience and soft spirit. For over 30 years, I searched for relief from anxiety and saw over 50 practitioners ranging from Indian shamanic energy healers to highly accomplished psychiatrists. (I was lucky I was a doctor so I could afford to be a patient.) Have you, too, gone to extraordinary lengths to resolve your chronic compulsion to worry and are still suffering? Listen on. What makes this book different is its relentless focus on calming anxiety at its true source, which I will share with you in detail. That source is in a place most doctors and psychologists fail to explore, and that oversight is why the positive effects of most anxiety therapies tend to wear off over time.
Although I’ll talk about my patient’s experiences with anxiety as well as my own, everything within these chapters has been vetted, explored, and applied to my own life. The ideas and practices are unique, novel, and effective. This is my life’s work and the ultimate book of high-impact solutions for escaping the trap of chronic worry. I truly do not want you to suffer as I have!
I’ve gone from being a hapless victim of my anxiety, never knowing when it would end, to having a path that helps me every single time anxiety comes up. People with anxiety are confused because they don't know what is happening to them. In this book, I'll show you exactly what is going on in your mind and your body and exactly what you can do about it. What is in this book has changed my life very much for the better, and I know it will do the same for you.

Wow! Someone who gets anxiety!
When I saw this book was over 12 hours, I wondered if it would be dry. In fact it was the opposite. What was really useful was to hear someone say what I’d been saying, that you can’t think your way out of anxiety. Thank Russell. There are so many tools in here.

This book has had an incredible impact on me and has helped me get much closer to healing my alarm and anxiety far more than three years of therapy. I hope it helps a lot more people too.

Best book on anxiety ever written
If you have tried everything to help your anxiety, get this. You will not be let down. This is the one book I have read that has actually helped. My anxiety has at least been cut in half since listening to this book. Russell know his stuff, he is a doctor and had anxiety for decades. This is like nothing you have ever come across before on anxiety. He is also very funny which really helps. But it now!!!

An absolute game changer
The best account and practical guide to anxiety/panic I have ever read. The advice given is sincere, honest, practical and most importantly workable. Dr Kennedy‘s honest and frank dissection of anxiety isn’t a sticking plaster but a life changing approach to conquering anxiety. I cannot recommend this book enough!

A game changer
Dr Russell understands Anxiety . He has done the hard work for those of us who are looking for a new way to understand Anxiety with a 'feeling not thinking' approach to healing . Finally there is a 'How To deal with Anxiety' section .
This book was easy to listen to with Dr Russell 's knowledge and insight of the topic, peppered with humour and a very personal story that has now given us this book.
A brilliant book in my opinion.

One of the best books to truly heal anxiety.
Russell's book is deeply refreshing in how simply if is written and relatable a lot of what he shares is. I found it so useful I am actually going to read it again. I have recommended it far and wide to friends and family. If you are an 'over thinker' this book is for you :-)
