We live in an epidemic of anxiety. Most of us assume that the key to overcoming it is to think our way out. And for a while it works. But there is always something that sends us back into the anxious spiral we’ve been trying to climb out of. In Beyond Anxiety, Dr. Martha Beck explains why anxiety is skyrocketing around you, and likely within you. She also tells you how to not only reduce your anxiety but use it to propel you into a life filled with peace, meaning, and joy.

Using a combination of the latest neuroscience as well as her background in sociology and coaching, Beck explains how our brains tend to get stuck in an “anxiety spiral,” a feedback system that can increase anxiety indefinitely. To climb out, we must engage different parts of our nervous system—the parts involved in creativity. Beck provides instructions for engaging the “creativity spiral,” in a process that not only shuts down anxiety but leads to innovative problem solving, a sense of meaning and purpose, and joyful, intimate connection with others—and with the world.

And with her characteristic humor, brilliance, detective-level research-skills and unconventional thinking, she has discovered actual real-life solutions to this dreaded mental scourge. In doing so, she has once again brought light, hope, and a welcome sense of excitement to us all.” —Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Big Magic and City of Girls

Why join Bookclub?

This Book Club is a women's circle of magnificent souls..many of the women have done every single book club, it has become part of their schedule, and part of the fabric of their lives..and some drop in and out depending on the book. know that all are welcome! These groups are always a community of insightful, supportive women eager to engage in meaningful conversation. We laugh and cry and share from our hearts..most of the women have said that they have never shared like this before..and now it's become a natural, necessary, joyous support and touchstone in their lives.

"These book club gatherings have shown me what truth looks and feels like in others and in myself. Women sharing and supporting each other’s unretouched pains, triumphs, worries, hilarities, fears, loves…it is magnificent and affirming. Most especially, it is real and it is safe. Honoring the truth in others helps me see and honor the truth in myself. What a blessing to experience the divine feminine so beautifully brought to life each week! This is one precious tribe." - Sandy
