In Anxiously Fearless, Joe Vandecar explains, dissects, and unpacks how our inner voices work and how they can be the biggest obstacle to our growth, development, and success. We don't have to accept this abnormal voice in our head dragging us down. Joe intertwines his personal story with guidance, tools, and techniques to master your inner voice.
Joe’s path from poverty to working at Apple was meandering and unorthodox, giving him unique insight into how different situations can trigger the worst of our inner voices. He set out to find ways to help himself and others overcome the enemy in their brains and retrain that voice to support them.
Joe identifies key areas where our inner voices give us the wrong narrative. For example, we talk to ourselves about the self, work, and relationships. Joe uses interviews and psychological research to give a fuller picture of what’s happening inside our heads and how we can change how our inner voices talk to us.
Joe's everyday perspective sets Anxiously Fearless apart from other self-help books. With the eye of a researcher and a curious mind, he compellingly tells his story and then seeks to understand the mechanisms behind his critical inner voice.
In this book, you will learn how to:
Slow down and get acquainted with your inner voice
Understand how our inner voices influence our behavior
Use simple tools to retrain your inner voice to become supportive and creative
Lower your anxiety and help yourself grow
