Wendy Suzuki
“Our brains work automatically to create strategies for avoiding unpleasant feelings (such as anxiety) and masking their severity. This avoidance is built into our neural pathways and wiring and helps us manage stress and keep going. But as our internal and external lives/environments change, we often outgrow these coping mechanisms or they just stop working.”
Wendy Suzuki, Good Anxiety: Harnessing the Power of the Most Misunderstood Emotion

Tom Waits
“Don’t plant your bad days. They grow into weeks. The weeks grow into months. Before you know it, you got yourself a bad year. Take it from me - choke those little bad days. Choke ‘em down to nothing.”
Tom Waits

Isabel Allende
“male vanity goes deeper and is costlier. Look at their military uniforms and medals, the pomp and solemnity with which they show off, the extreme measures they employ to impress women and make other men envious; their luxurious toys, like cars, and their toys of supremacy, like weapons.”
Isabel Allende, The Soul of a Woman: Rebel Girls, Impatient Love, and Long Life

Wendy Suzuki
“At its core, anxiety can be explained as an arousal and activation of both brain and body when they encounter negative stimuli or stress. The brain and body are essentially interconnected.”
Wendy Suzuki, Good Anxiety: Harnessing the Power of the Most Misunderstood Emotion

Wendy Suzuki
“For instance, some people become anxious before a public speaking event. For others, the idea of getting up in front of a crowd can be stimulating and exciting. One way of responding is not necessarily better than the other; it’s more accurately a reflection of a person’s way of managing stress at any given moment combined with their history.”
Wendy Suzuki, Good Anxiety: Harnessing the Power of the Most Misunderstood Emotion
