If you're feeling more anxious than usual and, on top of that,
feeling anxious about feeling anxious, then this book is for
you. Anxiety, it turns out, is a feature, not a bug, of human
nature. In FUTURE TENSE, Tracy Dennis-Tiwary offers a much-needed
guide - based on years of scientific research and her personal
clinical experience - to the emotion that is in some ways most
easily misunderstood and, therefore, most undervalued. Clear,
practical, and incredibly readable -- Angela Duckworth
This book is going to smash your existing views about
anxiety - and replace them with more helpful ones. As an expert
on the neuroscience of emotion, Tracy Dennis-Tiwary has delivered
the riveting read we all need to help us learn to worry well
instead of worrying less -- Adam Grant
A powerful and deeply informed new voice in the important
conversation around anxiety and its causes and effects. FUTURE
TENSE offers knowledge, empathy, and clarity in these times when
chronic emotional pain has been normalized. Framing how anxiety
works in our favor is a revolutionizing shift in perspective
-- Alanis Morissette
Reading FUTURE TENSE is an epiphany; it will turn your
understanding of anxiety on its head, and point you to new
paths forward. It offers a long-overdue challenge to the
medicalization and numbing of anxiety. Instead, Tracy Dennis-Tiwary
encourages us to consider how to live and grow with anxiety, and
find creativity in dealing with life's fundamental uncertainties. A
wide conversation around this book is urgently needed for our
anxious times -- Dacher Keltner, professor at UC Berkeley, author
of AWE: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How it Can Transform
Your Life
FUTURE TENSE teaches us - with incredible research and great
storytelling - that counter to everything we've thought and
been taught, anxiety, when understood and used wisely, is one of
the most valuable emotions to help us achieve our dreams. If
you're prone to anxiety like me or live or work with people who are
anxious, this is a must read! -- Marc Brackett, director of the
Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and bestselling author of
PERMISSION TO FEEL
FUTURE TENSE is groundbreaking. Filled with wisdom, compassion,
and humor, it shatters our long-held assumptions and sets the
stage for a new, hopeful way of understanding how to live - and
thrive - with anxiety -- Reshma Saujani, CEO of the Marshall Plan
for Moms and founder of Girls Who Code
Our minds classify anxiety as 'bad', but that very idea keeps
anxiety from delivering its often useful messages about what's
ahead. It's time for the whole culture to learn how to use anxiety
when it's helpful and let it go when it's not, but that starts with
learning what it is and how to feel it. This wise and
well-written book will help. Highly recommended -- Steven C.
Hayes, originator of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and author
of A LIBERATED MIND
