Many people reach success by deliberately being their own worst critic and obsessively double-checking their work; or by pushing their feelings aside. This strategy is seductive because it does work, at least up to a certain point. The problems arise once you advance beyond school and early career stages. The higher you climb, the more complex projects and issues in your life become. Meanwhile, you may have become so good at putting your emotions aside in certain situations that it’s hard to reconnect with them. This is when the old tools no longer suffice.
The "somewhat OCD" tendencies we pride ourselves on, or rather, the “Nervous Energy” we possess, can become mismanaged, and lead us down a rabbit hole of excessive self-criticism, anxiety, and pessimism. In Nervous Energy, Dr. Chloe Carmichael outlines nine tools with step-by-step instructions that can help you harness your Nervous Energy in order to live a more productive and fulfilling life. If managed correctly, the nervous energy that some people label as anxiety can actually be a source of stimulation, productivity, and fulfillment—and Dr. Chloe Carmichael has tried and tested methods for making this happen.
If you've ever felt a sense of excess energy that you didn't quite know how to direct, or felt that your creativity and motivation was being drained by constant analysis paralysis, Nervous Energy is for you.
Dr. Chloe explains how to manage anxiety constructively

PRAISE FOR NERVOUS ENERGY
“Anxiety and stress are the number one epidemic of modern civilization. Frequently stressed people find themselves at the pinnacle of success at the cost of unhappy lives, fractured relationships, and unhealthy bodies. Their energy is wasted even though they may have an excess of it. If ‘high energy’ people learnt to harness their energy to go beyond reactive responses to modes of intuition, creativity, and emotional resilience, they would achieve even more by doing less and be happier and healthier. This book offers the tools they need.”

"The reason I picked up your Nervous Energy book out of all the books on the shelf is because I saw the cover and it said "Nervous Energy". That's what I feel a lot of times before a hockey game, is a very nervous energy. You're excited, you're anxious, you're ready to go, but at the same time if you don't know how to put that energy in the right spot, then you end up letting that control your emotions rather than helping you ... How can I get myself to a state where I can use that anxious, nervous energy into a positive? Thank you for writing this book!"

"This book is so valuable because it spoke to me on so many different levels. Anxiety is there for a reason, it's not an accident that we have it. This book is really about harnessing the nervous energy that you might have- anxiety- and making it work for you, which is something that I never even considered was a possibility. I mean, that's just genius."

-Publishers Weekly
“Practical, Personal, Actionable. Love the reframe of anxiety as energy, a call to preparedness. I very much appreciated the real-world stories, author's own story, and most-importantly, the actionable exercises throughout the book, particularly the integration of 3-part breathing. Psychology writing often lacks practical application, Dr. Carmichael's book is the opposite. Thank you!”
