With the endless supply of challenges this year has delivered to us, including recession, the rise of AI, and the Hollywood strikes (to name just a few), anxiety has been on the rise and we’ve never been more desperate for solutions. Nick offers us an abundance of solutions to this evergreen topic, addressing anxiety in all aspects of life including the workplace.
In our conversation, Nick and I dissect what anxiety really is and peel each of its layers to help you identify how to deal with it. Nick gives us some great tips on how to work with your anxiety so you can still live your life and even make important decisions despite feeling anxious. Lastly, Nick reveals the benefits of training our minds to worry at specific times of the day and more importantly, how to do it.

I got some more confidence and hope to deal my worried mind after knowing Nick. And that's an amazing feeling at this pretty moment of my life. I guess there are here some game changing explanations and strategies. Congratulations and thank so much you for sharing. This was "quality time" for me!
I am so excited to know NICK WIGNALL has an interview on UA-cam! I have told many people that your articles on Medium are THE BEST. Between you and Huberman and That Hoarder I am getting some relief
Wow, thank you!
28:30 I wish this was talked about more. This idea about trusting your gut and follow your intuition has gotten a little overblown in my opinion. In reality, we have no idea most of the time if it’s our anxiety talking or our “intuitive gut.”
That made me laugh - your assistant wondering if pushing back the date of recording would mean the topic of anxiety would no longer be relevant. I work as a healer/complementary health therapist. Can confirm, anxiety still alive and kicking in Oct/Nov 2023. Love the concept of Scheduling Worry Time. ❤
I'm glad this resonates with you!
