Summary
Worry, stress, anxiety – whichever label you prefer to use – can have consequences that impact not only our lives, but the lives of others around us. When we worry it’s like the engine of our mind is constantly being revved up. It doesn’t allow us time to switch off and rest. It tires us out. And when we’re tired we are less likely to think straight. And when we’re not thinking straight it’s easy to make stupid mistakes and confuse priorities...But relax. There is a way forward.
In How Not to Worry Paul McGee shows us that there is a way to tackle life’s challenges in a calmer and more considered way. It is possible to use a certain degree of worry and anxiety to spur us on towards positive, constructive action, and then leave the rest behind. With down to earth, real life advice, How Not to Worry helps us understand why worrying is such a big deal and the reasons for it, exposing the behavioural traps we fall into when faced with challenges. It then helps us to move on with tools and ideas to deal with our worries in a more constructive way.
Paul McGee is one of Europe's leading motivational speakers and coaches, combining practical strategies with both inspiration and realism. He has spoken in 31 countries to date and is the author of several books, including the bestselling Self-Confidence and S.U.M.O. (Shut Up, Move On).
Building on his academic background in behavioural and social psychology, Paul is also a trained counsellor, a performance coach and a Fellow of the Institute of Sales and Marketing Management.

Informative and funny
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
If you are worried about whether or not it is worth purchasing this book / audiobook then you are in the right place. After all you're here because you know you worry too much and presumably want to do something to improve this.
Paul McGee illuminates areas of worry that we can all relate to in some manner and helps us understand why it is we need not worry about such things. The book is written and also narrated in a very warm hearted manner, by which I mean it is as if you were having a discussion with a friend. He illustrates personal experiences and examples relevant to life's worries in a humorous manner that makes the book a lot easier to read / listen to.
There are parts to this book that may seem obvious to some but sometimes we need to be told the obvious things again so that we realise we need to actually do these things. Besides if the obvious was not covered then he wouldn't really be covering everything.
Aside from this the things he suggests can be simple yet very helpful and thought provoking.
Any additional comments?
As a big worrier I would certainly recommend reading / listening to this book. I for one will be giving it a second listen to help it really sink into my head!

Lots of stuff to chew on here.
I don't know if I worry more or less than average, but I thought I'd read this to see if I could pick-up a few tips on how to manage stressful periods. I'm glad I did, as there's plenty of good material to think about in here.
I'm not especially a fan of the overly casual and matey tone of a lot of popular books written by medical professionals, including this one. But it does offer a lot of insightful analysis and useful tools that can be easily applied to try and tackle situations that are plaguing you.
Narrator is fine.
