From this sense of heightened self-awareness and inner peace comes the ability to truly know others and accept them for who they are. This fresh perspective on emotional and behavioral health is especially timely in light of Gen-Z/Zoomers' isolation from living in a world of digital technology. Yet all generations suffer from anxiety to some degree, and embracing it to become more self-aware, to connect more effectively with others, and to reach our full potential is the noble purpose of this much-needed book.' * PAUL FALCONE, Author and principal of Paul Falcone Workplace Leadership Consulting, LLC *'Thriving with Anxiety will teach you to not just learn to live with anxiety but to recognize how anxiety can help you to enjoy the life you want to live.
