And for a while, it works. Meditation and mental exercises offer us relief, but there is always something—a work deadline, a family emergency, a particularly distressing newsbreak—that disrupts our sense of peace and sends us right back inside the same anxious spiral we’ve been trying to climb out of.Is there a way to reduce our anxiety, not just in the moment, but in every moment after that?After a lifetime of struggling with anxiety, Martha Beck studied just about everything there was to know about how to calm down.
