Often framed as a mental or emotional problem, anxiety is in fact a whole-body biological response shaped by evolution, brain circuitry, hormones, and environment.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Biology of Anxiety\u003c\/i\u003e, scientist \u003cb\u003eBrendon Goh, PhD\u003c\/b\u003e explores anxiety from the inside out, revealing how the nervous system detects threat, mobilizes the body, and sometimes remains stuck in a state of chronic alert. Drawing on research from neuroscience, physiology, and psychology, this book explains why anxiety can feel overwhelming, persistent, and difficult to control-even in the absence of real danger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou'll learn how key brain regions such as the amygdala and prefrontal cortex interact with stress hormones, the autonomic nervous system, inflammation, and gut-brain signaling to shape anxious thoughts and physical symptoms. The book also examines why modern life amplifies these ancient survival systems, and how repeated stress can rewire the brain toward hypervigilance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClear, evidence-based, and compassionate, \u003ci\u003eThe Biology of Anxiety\u003c\/i\u003e reframes anxiety not as a weakness or disorder of willpower, but as an adaptive system that can be understood and gradually recalibrated. By grounding recovery in biology rather than blame, this book offers a foundation for resilience rooted in how the human body actually works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten for readers living with anxiety, as well as clinicians, students, and anyone curious about the science of fear, \u003ci\u003eThe Biology of Anxiety\u003c\/i\u003e provides clarity, validation, and a deeper understanding of one of the most powerful forces shaping human behavior.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brendon Goh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798247818465\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.27d","brand":"Brendon Goh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48517120786687,"sku":"9798247818465","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9fb69d38-87bc-4f4e-8d2c-f979d35068db.jpg?v=1778730041","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-biology-of-anxiety-brendon-goh-9798247818465","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
