Excerpt from "Why We Are Wired to Worry" Finally you can stop and finally get off the Worry-Go-Round™ Your brain is programed to believe that impending doom is around every corner due to an outdated evolutionary trait that helped ancient humans survive.

The workbook is filled with self-probing questions and exercises where you’ll make critical discoveries about your own beliefs and thought patterns and make big strides toward being happy in only a few minutes a day allowing you to see concrete lasting results in just two to four weeks!Imagine you are driving down a barren road when your car suddenly stops working just as you are passing a lone gas station. You know how to drive your car but you never learned about how it works because you didn’t think you needed to. You coast into the station because you know you are suppose to put some kind of gas into the tank and assume maybe that is what it needs. There is a red light lit up on the dash, but since you have no idea what it means, you ignore it, put diesel fuel in your little sports car and drive away until your car makes weird noises and stops dead in the middle of nowhere. Hard to believe anyone would drive around in a car with little to no understanding of its’ basic functioning. Makes you wonder who let them do that, didn’t they want to know more about their vehicle? Sad to say this is the way most people treat that 3 pound mass above their neck. We know the basic functions, and to keep it running we feed it pretty much anything, disregarding the consequences. We walk around oblivious to the signs that it is in trouble until it is too late. We believe if we can just figure out the “right recipe” of behaviors, diet and sleep, our emotions will stabilize leaving us in a good mood most days. Well that is like getting into your car, putting the radio on and expecting to keep the same station after driving 300 miles! That signal will change, pick up other frequencies, drop out completely and pull in annoying static. Somehow we just assume being happy should come naturally if we do the “right things” and nothing could be further from the truth. It is time human beings learn the basic fundamentals of how our brain, the most sophisticated machine in the universe works. You will learn 4 main terms that may be new to you that will explain 98% of your behavior.
