BITESIZE | Why Your Brain Wants You To Be Anxious (And What You Can Do About It) | Dr Anders Hansen #579

Compared to most of our evolutionary history we have never been richer, safer, or lived longer lives. Yet, despite that, more of us are struggling with our health than ever before. What’s going on? Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my weekly podcast for your mind, body, and heart. Each week I’ll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests. Today’s clip is from episode 381 of the podcast with Swedish psychiatrist, globally renowned speaker, and best-selling author Dr Anders Hansen. Anders believes we can start to understand the struggles of modern life by looking to the brain, where our emotions are created. In this clip, he offers a powerful reframe for understanding anxiety, and some simple, practical tools to help. Anders is someone who really wants all of us to learn how exactly our brains are wired – so we can more easily understand ourselves and our daily behaviours. He is passionate, knowledgeable and a brilliant communicator.
