Summary
Do you ever wonder what is happening inside your brain when you feel anxious, panicked, and worried? In Rewire Your Anxious Brain, psychologist Catherine Pittman and author Elizabeth Karle offer a unique, evidence-based solution to overcoming anxiety, based in cutting-edge neuroscience and research.
In this audiobook you will learn how the amygdala and cortex (both important parts of the brain) are essential players in the neuropsychology of anxiety. The amygdala acts as a primal response, and oftentimes, when this part of the brain processes fear, you may not even understand why you are afraid. By comparison the cortex is the center of worry - that is, obsessing, ruminating, and dwelling on things that may or may not happen.
Pittman and Karle offer simple, specific examples of how to manage fear by tapping in to both of these pathways in the brain. As you listen, you'll gain a greater understanding of how anxiety is created in the brain, and as a result you will feel empowered and motivated to overcome it.
The brain is a powerful tool, and the more you work to change the way you respond to fear, the more resilient you will become. Using the practical self-assessments and proven-effective techniques in this book, you will learn to literally "rewire" the brain processes that lie at the root of your fears.

Very helpful!
I've been listening to this book as well as seeking CBT. I found this book incredibly helpful and it has helped me to understand how my brain works and that I CAN change my brain and rewire it. It is very good and I would recommend this to anyone suffering with anxiety (it even helps you identify what sort you have).
Excellent!

Amazing book but narration not the best
The narration is stilted, which can be really off putting at first. It lacks any real emotion or variation and can be difficult to focus on. But stick with it, the science is fantastic and the advice given is tremendously helpful.

An engaging read. Excellent for anyone suffering with anxiety
More than anything, I liked the emphasis that the writers placed on the amygdala and the solutions for dealing with it.

Scientifically minded students only ...
This book is incredibly useful if you are the type of person (like me) - who needs to visualise what is going on when you hit a panic peak. I have PTSD and have found that my therapist over-simplified the brain processes that occur in flashback.
Now I see the difference between the reptilian amygdala panic/cortex based worry and distortions - I can understand when CBT techniques are applicable and when they are no use at all - and to use other techniques described.
However, if you don't have at least a GCSE in a science - I don't think that you will stick with this tome unfortunately - as some of the other reviewers here have already highlighted.
I found a website called 'The Brain Made Simple' open in another tab which I found helpful.
The narration is quite horrible though.

Should be taught in schools!!!
Best thing I've read explaining anxiety in long time. This is an absolute wonderful explaination of brain process involved in anxiety and therefore how to treat it! If suffering with anxiety, definitely worth reading and that is coming from a therapist.
