Listen Later

 Do you feel guilty or anxious when you're not working?

Have you stopped playing with your friends?

Do all of your daily activities revolve around building a more successful career?

Are you sitting still and staring at screens for most of your waking hours?

Do you interact with people primarily through screens?

Are you always sleeping fewer than eight hours per night?

Are you consuming stimulants multiple times per day to hide your exhaustion?

Are you indoors all day long, depriving yourself of fresh air and sunlight?

Do you depend on alcohol or drugs to cope with social situations outside of work?

My podcast guest today - Charlie Hoehn, author of the book "Play It Away: A Workaholic's Cure For Anxiety"- has been there, and he knows what that lifestyle is like.

Shallow breathing, tension in the gut, chest pains, rapid heartbeat...

...every moment is exhausting, crushing, and painful. Eventually, anxiety destroys your confidence, your productivity, your relationships, and your ability to enjoy life. The worst part is the gnawing sense that you’ll never feel happy again. Fear no more. You can put an end to your suffering. You can start living again. And it’s not as hard as you think...

In today's podcast, we cover Charlie's entire journey: what caused his anxiety, the “A-ha!” moment that led to his cure and how he got his life back. In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • The key breakthrough that allowed Charlie to enjoy life again...
  • Charlie's step-by-step plan for healing anxiety without drugs...
  • How Charlie turned non-stop worrying into background noise...
  • Charlie's unusual technique for stopping panic attacks...
  • Why “anchors” fuel anxiety, and how to remove them...
  • How Charlie finally started sleeping well again...
  • Three common nutrient deficiencies that amplify anxiety...
  • How to boost productivity and have guilt-free fun...
