We live in an increasingly uncertain world, and if you struggle with worry, you aren’t alone. But excessive worrying—the kind that keeps us up at night, interferes with our thinking during the day, and hijacks our ability to make decisions—is a big, big problem.

In this author Q&A Ben Eckstein shares insights from his book to show you how to break free from the unhelpful thinking habits that keep you stuck in a loop of rumination and anxiety.
