The Professional Worrier: How to manage anxiety and home and at work

Frances Gleeson talks to Stewart Geddes about his new book, The Professional Worrier, and finds out how to manage anxiety at home and at workThe word ‘anxious’ alone is enough to make me feel it. We all experience anxiety. For some of us, it is triggered by stressful circumstances. For more of us, it is part of how our personalities developed from childhood, a combination of nurture and nature. For others, it goes beyond that into the realm of a medical condition. Stewart Geddes’ book, The Professional Worrier, is about managing his own anxiety and counselling others to do the same with theirs.

While there is a strong focus on work-related stress, the book offers an in-depth understanding of how anxiety works and tools that can be applied regardless of the particular triggers.
