Unwinding Anxiety
Judson Brewer MD PhD
In Unwinding Anxiety, addiction psychiatrist Judson Brewer uses the neuroscience of habit loops to explain why anxiety persists and how it can be addressed. Drawing on clinical experience and research, Brewer outlines a three-step process for recognising the triggers, behaviours, and rewards that sustain anxious patterns — and for gradually replacing them with more helpful responses. The book is practically structured, with reflection exercises and guided practices woven throughout each chapter.
The Stress-Proof Brain
Melanie Greenberg PhD
In The Stress-Proof Brain, clinical psychologist Melanie Greenberg combines neuroplasticity research with mindfulness-based techniques to explain how chronic stress affects the brain and body — and how those effects can be changed over time. The book covers the neuroscience of the stress response, emotional regulation strategies, and practical skills for building resilience. Each chapter introduces a specific skill, making it accessible both as a reference and as a structured guide to work through progressively.
