Publisher's summary

Turn your anxiety into strength with Harvard-based psychotherapist Dr. Luana Marques' 3-step method to living boldly - her clinically proven approach inspires patients from CEOs to at-risk teens.

Bold Move is Dr. Marques' unique, tried and tested method to get you out of your rut and find the courage to create a more confident and meaningful life.

Dr. Marques understands anxiety. After decades of research, teaching and clinical practice, she realized that the coping techniques she learned from her mother and grandmother while growing up in poverty in Brazil mimicked science-based CBT therapy. Now, she has synthesized that knowledge, developing a 3-step path that works for everyone - from teens in crisis to executives experiencing burnout. By pinpointing the anxiety at the root of avoidance Dr Marques shows how you can overcome it and achieve your goals.

Bold Move includes concrete examples and exercises backed by the most recent clinical and scientific research.

The 3-step plan:

- Helps you recognize thinking patterns that leave you feeling tense, anxious, and worried

- Outlines the many forms that avoidance can take, including seeking comfort from others

- Explains the importance of being your own 'thought lawyer

- 'Shows you why 'just do it' doesn't get it done.

- Strategizes how you can build on your values to establish boundaries and make room for your dreams.

Bold Move is a groundbreaking, transformative programme that works for everyone - for practitioners and, most notably, those dealing with mental health challenges from underserved communities who have been overlooked and neglected for too long.

Critic reviews

'If you're timid when you should be tough and resigned when you should be resolute, this book is the antidote. Drawing on her own life story along with a stack of research, Dr. Luana Marques will help you break free from limiting patterns and create a life of meaning and purpose.' (Daniel H. Pink, #1 New York Times bestseller author of Drive, When, and The Power of Regret)

'Anxiety sucks, but you don't have to let it ruin or diminish your life. You're not alone, and you're not out of luck. The condition is workable, and this book will provide you with a toolkit. Dr. Luana has helped me many times. I still use her teachings nearly daily. And I strongly suspect she can help you, too.' (Dan Harris, bestselling author of 10% Happier)

'If avoidance is robbing you of your best life, this book will get you unstuck. Dr. Luana coaches us to shift the stories we tell ourselves so that we can transform our automatic pilot lives into meaningful conscious living. By transforming yourself, you will become your best partner, parent, friend. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants a mindful and meaningful life.' (Dr. Shefali, bestselling author of A Radical Awakening)
