Resilience: Handling Anxiety in a Time of Crisis

It’s a challenging time for people who experience anxiety, and even people who usually don’t experience it are finding their moods are getting the better of them. Anxiety hits hard and its symptoms are unmistakable, but sometimes in the rush and confusion of uncertainty we miss those symptoms until it’s too late. When things seem to be coming undone, it’s still possible to recognize the onset of anxiety and act to prevent the worst of it. The simple steps taught in this book can help you overcome the turmoil.

Practicing Mental Illness is a guide to using meditation, movement and meaningful work to help manage affective disorders such as depression, bipolar disorder and anxiety.

Not a typical book on mindfulness, it acknowledges where mindfulness practices as taught today can be helpful, and where methods and teachings in popular mindfulness can be very damaging to people with mental illness. George Hofmann has written a subversive self-help book, which acknowledges that our society’s low expectations of people with behavioral challenges contribute to the development of mental illness. He gives the reader the necessary tools to take responsibility to get well and stay well. In the end, Practicing Mental Illness presents a method that can help people with affective disorders predict oncoming mood changes and intervene to head off damaging emotions and maintain a balance of positive mental, and physical, health.

"Beautifully written, this inspirational book has the power to help so many who are suffering alone to find hope and build a life of meaning, resilience and connection during the toughest of times."
Suzie Pileggi Pawelski, MAPP, coauthor of Happy Together: Using the Science of Positive Psychology to Build Love That Lasts

"Practicing Mental Illness is a remarkable work. A real, honest, and positively inspiring life guide. This book can help when applied. I know this because it has helped me."
David Pasqualone, Host, The Remarkable People Podcast
