This week on The Living Experiment, we're talking about Anxiety — a condition that causes tens of millions of people to feel rattled by intrusive thoughts, oppressed by worries, or otherwise disquieted — sometimes to a disabling degree.

These days, anxiety has surpassed depression as America's number one mental health disorder.

So here, we talk about a wide range of strategies proven to help, from nutritional interventions to self-calming techniques.

We explore the underlying reasons anxiety is giving so many of us so much trouble.

From the factors that have given rise to our high-stress society, to the implications of medicating anxiety's symptoms rather than addressing its root causes, we invite you to consider the role anxiety may be playing in your own life, and the options you have for making it better.

We also offer some experiments to help you build your own collection of anti-anxiety skills.

P.S. We also happily announce our sponsorship by Experience Life magazine, and the special, discounted subscription offer and free e-newsletters now available to The Living Experiment listeners. Get full show notes and resources at http://livingexperiment.com/anxiety/
