Unworried: A Life Without Anxiety

by Greg Popcak

Anxiety. It's practically an epidemic. Twenty percent of Americans suffer from anxiety disorders, and millions more wrestle with worry and stress on a daily basis. For us as Christians, all that worry gets mixed up with a lot of guilt. After all, Scripture tells us, Have no anxiety at all (Phil 4:6). How can we stop worrying and start living an anxiety-free life? As you'll learn in A Life Without Anxiety , the answer isn't just pray more or just read more Scripture or, worst of all, just stop worrying. If we learn to respect how God made us, we can build new habits of thinking, communicating, and acting that will help set us free from worry. Dr. Gregory Popcak integrates insights from our Catholic Faith with cutting-edge psychological research to help the anxious reader form a comprehensive plan for conquering anxiety and living a life of true peace. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Dr. Gregory Popcak is the founder/director of CatholicCounselors.com, a Catholic telecounseling practice providing faithful solutions to tough marriage, family, and personal problems.

Small book but it took a while for me to read. Read it slowly due to contemplating and reviewing the thoughts and ideas. I wish I read this when I was younger for I am sure I would have handled problems, discussions and conflict differently.

He has really good ideas that are helpful. I will pass this book to family & friends for it is enlightening. Well written and will more than likely read another of his books.

It took me a long time to get through this buddy read, but it was excellent! I feel like Dr. Popcak wrote this book for people who don’t have access to, need supplements to, or don’t know they need to see a counselor or get professional help. There are so many written notes and book darts throughout to talk about in book club!!
