About
A timely and compelling guide to managing the anxiety that comes with succeeding and leading, from entrepreneur, mental health advocate, and top-rated podcaster Morra Aarons-Mele.
Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illnesses in the world. But in our workplaces, anxiety has been a hidden problem, there in plain sight but ignored. Until now.
“The Anxious Achiever” is a book with a mission: to normalize anxiety and leadership. As leadership expert and self-proclaimed anxious achiever Morra Aarons-Mele argues, anxiety is built into the very nature of leadership. It can, and should, be harnessed into a force for good.
Inspired by the popular podcast of the same name, The Anxious Achiever is filled with personal stories, research-based insights into mental health, and lots of practical advice. You'll learn how to:
• Figure out your own anxiety profile so that you can recognize and avoid common thought traps and triggers
• Confront bad habits and unhealthy coping mechanisms
• Resist perfectionism, manage social anxiety, and set boundaries to prevent burnout
• Deal with feedback, criticism, and impostor syndrome
• Model, and communicate, healthy behavior as a leader
Whether you're experiencing anxiety for the first time or have been battling it for years, “The Anxious Achiever” will help you turn your stress and worries into a source of strength for yourself, your career, and the people you lead.
