Abstract: The debilitating effects of anxiety can affect your sense of well-being, health, longevity, productivity, and relationships.

This step-by-step plan for mental calmness and emotional wisdom focuses on ways to create resilience as a key to resolving anxiety in everyday life, incorporating the latest science on diet, exercise, nutritional supplements, and mindfulness. Marrying the Eastern techniques of meditation with the traditional Western solutions of diet and exercise produces a dramatic effect.
