Produktbeschreibung

Incessant thoughts of worry and fear are a constant struggle for us mortals. Anxiety in our daily lives engages our stress system, which damages both our physical bodies and emotional well being. But it doesn't have to. And you don't have to be a Zen master to achieve a better way of life. The Tao of Maybe is a practical path to calming our minds, using the principles of 2000-year-old wisdom and the science of neuroplasticity.
