This episode centers around Dr. John Delony's new book Building a Non-Anxious Life. John shares his personal struggles with anxiety and the realization that writing the book necessitated changing his life to align with its teachings.

In this book, he outlines a roadmap to a non-anxious life, emphasizing daily choices like choosing reality, connection, freedom, mindfulness, health, healing, and belief. These choices are likened to spokes on a wheel, helping to address the root causes of anxiety.
