Acerca de esta escucha
A groundbreaking guide to master everyday fear and anxiety.
Mary Poffenroth, PhD, is a scientist, professor, and fear expert who has spent her career researching how we can all live more courageously, every day. With anxiety rates tripling and depression rates quadrupling since 2019, Brave New You could not be timelier as it gives listeners actionable steps to navigate the underlying cause of our current mental health crisis: fear. Not fight-or-flight, but the kind of pervasive, debilitating everyday fears triggered by problems, stresses, and challenging issues we all face in our day-to-day lives.
Along with the author’s personal stories about overcoming her fears, Brave New You combines the latest research in biology and psychology to help listeners identify the hidden sources of struggle while teaching them to use neurohacks that will give them all the tools and strategies they need to live a fuller, happier life.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Historia
If breaking free of negative thought patterns could be cured through simply thinking positively or doubling down on our self-care, we wouldn't see such epidemic rates of depression and anxiety disorders worldwide. Bonior deciphers the psychological research to help us disempower our self-sabotaging thoughts, and teaches specific and actionable ways to overcome them in a transformational listen.

Historia
Sara Dykman made history when she became the first person to bicycle alongside monarch butterflies on their storied annual migration—a round-trip adventure that included three countries and more than 10,000 miles. Equally remarkable, she did it solo, on a bike cobbled together from used parts. Her panniers were recycled buckets. In Bicycling with Butterflies, Dykman recounts her incredible journey and the dramatic ups and downs of the nearly nine-month odyssey.

When the federal government catches hotshot financial adviser Louis Martin “Marty” Blazer defrauding his NFL-player clients, it’s time to come clean. He has no reasonable defense. What he has is a bigger story to spill to the feds—that of a multibillion-dollar conspiracy that exploits the most talented college athletes and implicates one of the most popular entertainment industries in the nation. The DOJ is listening, and the truth could literally set Marty free. All he has to do is prove that the NCAA is a vast ongoing scam.

1800s China. Tightly bound feet, or "golden lilies," are the mark of an honorable woman, eclipsing beauty, a rich dowry and even bloodline in the marriage stakes. When Little Flower is sold as a maidservant—a muizai—to Linjing, a daughter of the prominent Fong family, she clings to the hope that one day her golden lilies will lead her out of slavery. Not only does Little Flower have bound feet, uncommon for a muizai, but she is extraordinarily gifted at embroidery, a skill associated with the highest class of a lady.

Leovander Loveage is a master of small magics. He can summon butterflies with a song or turn someone’s hair pink by snapping his fingers. Though such minor charms don’t earn him much respect, anything more elaborate always blows up in his face, and so Leo vowed long ago never to use powerful magic again. That is, until a mishap with a forbidden spell binds Leo to obey the commands of his longtime rival, Sebastian Grimm. Grimm is Leo’s complete opposite—respected, exceptionally talented, and absolutely insufferable.

Comedian Pierre Novellie was on stage when a heckler suggested he was autistic. Usually, this disruption would be water off a duck's back but two things made this heckler different: first, he was himself autistic. Second, he turned out to be absolutely right. This random encounter led to a diagnosis of autism at the age of 31 that unravelled his world, explained his struggles and answered questions that had bothered him for his entire life: why were the other kids obsessed with Britney Spears instead of The Goon Show? Why don't people ever say what they mean? Why is everyone chewing so loudly?

It’s not easy being an INTJ, the Myers-Brigg personality type found in only 2.1% of the population and known in literature on the subject as “The Mastermind” or “The Architect.” They have an uncanny ability to connect the dots, and as a result, see things differently than almost everyone else, and so they are almost always several steps ahead of others and others don’t like that. But it sure can be a beneficial trait to have when solving problems, such as how to grow market share and dominate a business category. In this book, the former Senior Vice President & Client Plans ...

Hi, I'm Jordyn. I flew from New York to Culver City, CA to interview for the job of a lifetime. When I walked into The Bookstore, I only wanted a steamy romance or two to help pass the time before my big meeting. I walked out with a cinnamon roll who was more funny and charming than all of my favorite book boyfriends combined. Mike was irresistible, and the time we spent together was more fun than I've had in a long time. But I'm smart enough to know if something feels to good too be true, it probably is. I mean, happily ever afters are just for fairy tales and romance novels...right?

Historia
In The Serendipity Mindset, Christian Busch explains that serendipity isn't about luck in the sense of simple randomness. It's about seeing links that others don't, combining these observations in unexpected and strategic ways, and learning how to detect the moments when apparently random or unconnected ideas merge to form new opportunities. Busch explores serendipity from a rational and scientific perspective and argues that there are identifiable approaches we can use to foster the conditions to let serendipity grow.

Humpback whales are among the most intelligent animals on Earth. Some scientists believe they might even surpass humans in self-awareness, empathy, and communication skills. In this episode, we swim with a whale as he teams up with other humpbacks to use bubbles to catch fish, rescues a sea lion, and puts his own spin on melodies sung by whales across the Pacific Ocean. This is the world in its natural state, defined by seasons, routines, and cycles. By the time this whale is ready to close one eye and go to sleep, you will be too.

I had previously read Brave New You and was recently able to listen to the audiobook version. As someone who has struggled with anxiety, depression, and the fear of not being enough Dr. Ponffenroth’s book, Brave New You, allowed me to look at these fears I have always lived with in a new light. It helped me to begin understanding the reasoning and origins of these fears and how to start overcoming them. While this book is not a replacement for therapy or professional help it is an invaluable aid to anyone working on improving their mental health. The audiobook version of Brave New You enriches this experience as we hear from Dr. Ponffenroth herself.
Brave New You is broken down into three parts. The first section helps readers come to terms with fear and removes some of the taboo feelings we have on the subject. It breaks down how fear is a natural and essential part of human evolution and its interwoven connection with courage as a partner rather than an adversary. Once we understand the subject of fear the book breaks down different types of fears. Such as the difference between factual and fictional fear, how our society and how we interact with fear, and how we biologically react to fear. In the last part of Brave New You readers are given tools and strategies for embracing and working through our fears.
The book is easy to read (or listen to, in this case) and comprehend. Dr. Poffenroth, as the narrator, has a clear and expressive tone. Her enthusiasm for her research shines through and gets the listener excited as well. Dr. Poffenroth also breaks down the biological and psychological reasonings behind fear so anyone can understand it (even the scientifically impaired like me). The book is also littered with what the author terms neurohacks, strategies to help calm and recenter oneself in the face of fear. These range from binaural beats, and certain smells, to simple hand movements. Dr. Poffenroth also provides various journaling and thought exercises for readers to use. Don’t think you have to buy the physical or digital book to have access to these exercises. The audiobook comes with a PDF detailing the same exercises found in the book. No reader is left out. The author also goes the extra mile utilizing her own bravery to share her experiences with fear. This vulnerability struck me the most and helped me connect to the book on a deeper level. I could see myself in the pages and resonate with the author’s own experiences. This is only strengthened by the voice of the author herself sharing these stories and experiences.
Brave New World is a golden toolbox of neurohacks, mental health tips and tricks, easy-to-comprehend science and psychology, and heartfelt stories and advice. Anyone looking to better understand and improve their mental health should read (or rather listen to) this book.

I know a lot of folks will be deterred by the author reading her own work. However, in this case, she is a wonderful narrator and really brings a relaxing vibe to the entire book.
Amazingly approachable and relatable

The author begins by describing both fear and fearlessness in a new light, calling it “reimagining fear and courage.” Fear has often been seen as a negative feeling and something to hide or escape from. Many of us feel a sense of shame if we are struggling with anxiety, and we try to either will ourselves to get over it, or perhaps numb our feelings in unhealthy ways. We don’t often talk to other people about it (sometimes even to those closest to us) and we might assume we’re weak and the only one struggling.
The author stresses that this is not the case. Everyone deals with anxiety and fear at one point in their lives, and it’s nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, fear can be a good thing! For one thing, it is our body’s natural survival instinct (a.k.a. “fight or flight” response). Fear can also lead us to discover our potential, strengths, and passions in life. We can learn new things and find solutions to our problems, leading us to self-confidence and fulfillment.
The author also talks about her own struggles with anxiety in the past and how she used her love of science and research to figure out how to deal with it. She discovered the three main sources of fear (biological, cultural, and personal) and how they come about and affect our lives. She learned “neuro hacks” (physical and psychological shortcuts that help memory, focus, and creativity) that can actually rewire the way we think. There are endless benefits to our health and well-being. We are teaching our bodies how to respond differently to fear and anxiety, while not trying to eliminate or ignore it, either. Learn to use it to your advantage!
This is such an informative, detailed, and practical guidebook that all people can understand, relate to, and put into practice in their day-to-day lives. We learn what fears are rational and what aren’t, and how to deal with the irrational and intrusive ones.
The author also discusses the importance of healthy self-esteem and finding your inner strength, as well as creating boundaries in your life. We all have what it takes to do this and turn our lives around for the better.
If you’re struggling with fear and anxiety in your life, I highly suggest you listen to this audiobook (or show it to someone who could benefit from it). I’ve learned many great strategies to use and will be sure to share this book with others. Recommended!
