Nothing is wrong with you. Something is happening in your nervous system — and it has logic. Anxiety and depression are often treated as problems to eliminate, disorders to manage, or failures to fix. But what if they are not mistakes at all? What if they are intelligent survival responses of the nervous system? In Survival States, neuroscientist Moawiah Naffaa, PhD offers a groundbreaking, biology-based framework that explains why anxiety feels urgent, why depression feels heavy, and why trying harder so often makes things worse. This book reveals a powerful truth: Anxiety is mobilization.

The transition from male childhood to real manhood is a complicated struggle, and explored in this book. As timely today as when it was first published, He provides a fascinating look into male identity and how female dynamics influence men.

Unfortunately, it can be hard to stop once you get yourself into the spiral of overthinking. Your thoughts can get ahead of you, blocking you from your own mind and distracting you from what really matters.

Many of us believe that the best way to treat crises and challenges is to process them: to mull over and analyse the stresses, anxieties and traumas we face. But this perception is misguided.
