About the Book
Your chest tightens. Your mind races. Your stomach flips. You tell yourself to calm down—yet somehow you feel worse.
You’re not broken. You’re not weak. You’re human. Anxiety is part of us… but it doesn’t have to run your life.
In Calm Down! Calm Down! psychotherapist and executive coach Steve Maher blends science, evolutionary psychology, and thousands of hours of coaching to explain:
-
Why your brain is wired for anxiety—and how that wiring misfires today
-
The everyday triggers that spark fight, flight, or freeze
-
How your imagination, social instincts, and even your gut influence worry
-
Practical, proven tools—from ACT to Human Givens—to break the cycle and reclaim calm
Written with warmth, clarity, and the occasional laugh-out-loud moment, this book doesn’t just explain anxiety. It teaches you how to master it—before it masters you.

If your thoughts sometimes spiral out of control…
-
If you just want to breathe freely again…
This book is your lifeline.
Transform your relationship with anxiety—and take back your peace of mind.
