Nervous Energy: Harness the Power of Your Anxiety Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

Many people reach success by deliberately being their own worst critic and obsessively double-checking their work; or by pushing their feelings aside. This strategy is seductive because it does work, at least up to a certain point. The problems arise once you advance beyond school and early career stages. The higher you climb, the more complex projects and issues in your life become. Meanwhile, you may have become so good at putting your emotions aside in certain situations that it’s hard to reconnect with them. This is when the old tools no longer suffice.

The "somewhat OCD" tendencies we pride ourselves on, or rather, the “Nervous Energy” we possess, can become mismanaged, and lead us down a rabbit hole of excessive self-criticism, anxiety, and pessimism. In Nervous Energy, Dr. Chloe Carmichael outlines nine tools with step-by-step instructions that can help you harness your Nervous Energy in order to live a more productive and fulfilling life. If managed correctly, the nervous energy that some people label as anxiety can actually be a source of stimulation, productivity, and fulfillment - and Dr. Chloe Carmichael has tried and tested methods for making this happen.

If you've ever felt a sense of excess energy that you didn't quite know how to direct, or felt that your creativity and motivation was being drained by constant analysis paralysis, Nervous Energy is for you.

“Anxiety and stress are the number one epidemic of modern civilization. Frequently, stressed people find themselves at the pinnacle of success at the cost of unhappy lives, fractured relationships, and unhealthy bodies. Their energy is wasted even though they may have an excess of it. If 'high energy' people learnt to harness their energy to go beyond reactive responses to modes of intuition, creativity, and emotional resilience, they would achieve even more by doing less and be happier and healthier. This book offers the tools they need." (Dr. Deepak Chopra, MD)

Relatable Resource for High Achievers!

Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2024

Verified Purchase

Dr. Chloe has provided us with an excellent resource to manage stress and anxiety. As a psychotherapist, I have recommended “Nervous Energy” to many clients and have received positive feedback as the tools shared are integrated into clients’ lives. A great book to continuously come back to for reminders on how to use stress and anxiety to your advantage.

A fresh approach to anxiety

Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2021

Verified Purchase

This book provides useful strategies for managing anxiety, with a focus on methods to "harness" (as the book's subtitle says) the power of "eustress," or healthy anxiety. You may have seen the techniques presented in this book before, but they're presented in novel ways, and there are helpful, detailed worksheets you can access on the author's website. The case studies in the book provide some real world examples of the skills in action. The writing style is relatable and breezy and doesn't get bogged down in too much technical information. A useful addition to your library.

‘Nervous Energy’ caught my attention! I highly recommend Dr. Chloe‘s book for therapists and coaches, who see a daily stream of anxious and distressed people. This book is filled with proven techniques, and reading it is enjoyable with the added personal examples taken from Dr. Chloe‘s practice experiences. An excellent resource for a therapeutic toolbox!

A Different Kind of Self-Help

Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2021

Verified Purchase

Think you read all the self-help books? Think again. "Nervous Energy" is a great step-by-step guide to help "high functioning" people get hold of that excess energy. The book is highly engaging and smartly written. The nine techniques discussed are detailed and easy to follow. There is a chapter that summarizes them too. You can skip through different parts instead of reading it straight through. Liked the quality of the writing which was easy to read; you'll have lots of lightbulb moments and some laughing one too. Great book! Try it.

Hard for me to get into

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2023

Verified Purchase

Book starts out with the author bragging on herself. I guess that's important to realize that she does have something to teach you. But I'm having a hard time getting into the book I put it up and I just don't really feel interested in taking it down but at some point in time I should give it a fair shake.

The perfect collection of anxiety management tools for the driven and goal-oriented

Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2021

Verified Purchase

Nervous Energy is a must-read for goal-oriented people who just need a little help getting their anxiety under control to maximize their potential, whether personally or professionally. Dr. Chloe uses relatable stories to illustrate the struggles with stress, anxiety, and overthinking that many of us face in our day-to-day lives, and then mercifully gives us the tools to deal with them! The tools themselves range from refreshingly simple to challenging but accessible, and are presented alongside real-life examples to demonstrate their application. Time spent reading this book is well spent! :)

Not quite what I was expecting, but there are some helpful tips

Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2021

This book is geared for high-functioning people with anxiety, and the author gives a thorough description early on in the book as to just who these people are. She then goes on to list nine tools to deal with anxiety and nervous energy. There are step-by-step instructions to guide the reader through the tools, as well as patient stories to show the author's success in using these practices. The book wasn't quite what I was expecting, but there are some tips that most people in her target audience could utilize at some point in time.

I love this book! It’s is a super enjoyable read with nice personal stories and powerful techniques to manage that high energy stress/anxiety. I am a psychotherapist and I use techniques from this book with my clients (& myself). I also love the aesthetics, I even have a special shelf in my office where this book sits right next to my lucky dog lol. I highly recommend!
