Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

It is 12:40 a.m., and you are attending, once again, a disaster that will never happen.Worry feels like work. It borrows the serious face of planning, runs drills all night, and bills you for protection it never delivers. Dean Halloway priced real risk for insurance companies for twenty-three years, then spent fourteen months auditing his own fears the way he audited claims: 641 worries written down, dated, and graded against reality. Fewer than four percent ever came true. Not one arrived worse than imagined. And that year's two truly hard days were never on the list.Worry Is Not a Plan is the working manual he wishes someone had handed him at thirty: a warm, wry, intensely practical system for telling real problems from imaginary ones, and for making peace with not knowing how anything turns out.Inside is the three-question sort that settles any anxious thought in under a minute, the filing rule that closes mental cases without suppressing them, the fifteen-minute appointment backed by decades of research, the Maybe Ladder that trains your nervous system to hold open questions without flinching, a plain chapter on when it's more than worry, and a letter to read on the next bad night.You have already survived every hard day of your life, and you predicted none of them correctly. Your worries have a track record. It's time you checked it.Stop rehearsing. Start living. The future will manage without your supervision.
