Quotes by David A. Carbonell  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“We will also do better when we can recognize the worry thoughts as signs of nervousness and anxiety, the same as an eye twitch or sweaty palms, rather than some important message about the future”
David A. Carbonell, The Worry Trick: How Your Brain Tricks You into Expecting the Worst and What You Can Do About It

“Worry predictions aren’t based on what’s likely to happen. They’re based on what would be terrible if it did happen. They’re not based on probability—they’re based on fear.”
David A. Carbonell, The Worry Trick: How Your Brain Tricks You into Expecting the Worst and What You Can Do About It

“When you’re under the influence of this belief, you tend to act as if the simple act of worrying can change the future, that it might prevent bad events from happening that would have otherwise happened. I’m not referring here to situations in which your thoughts lead you to take action, and those actions influence the future. Here I mean that people treat worry itself as something that can affect the future.”
