Publisher's Summary
Is there a space between where you are and where you want to be? Do you resist overwhelming situations, wanting to avoid discomfort (while telling yourself you just need more motivation)? Do you feel intoxicated with inspiration one minute, only to find yourself binge-watching "Real Housewives" not long thereafter, having slayed nothing other than the snack cabinet?
You want to do things differently, but something keeps getting in your way. Maybe you spend too much time in your head. Maybe you panic when things start to feel “too much.”
The solution? JUST DO NOTHING.
Through this humorous, insightful guide, you will discover data-driven, science-backed tools that:
Empower you to understand and take control of your emotions
Break through the barriers holding you back
Show you how to create your own sliding scale of distress so you can increase your ability to tolerate discomfort
Help you learn to let feelings be instead of letting them go
As counterintuitive as it may sound, when you learn how to just do nothing with the chaotic thoughts and feelings swimming in your head, your life will change for the better. And, before you know it, you’ll be comfortably engaging in experiences that once had you running for that snack cabinet.
Critic Reviews
“A game plan to stop being your own worst enemy. In encouraging but forceful prose, Hardis invites the reader to analyze their own reactions and behaviors... A clear-eyed call to reshape emotional responses to stress and disappointment.“ —Kirkus Reviews
“Practical. Friendly. Funny. As usual, Joanna knocks it out of the park with sound advice that you can actually use!” —Drew Linsalata, author of The Anxious Truth and Seven Percent Slower
“Life has its ways of stressing us all out. In Just Do Nothing, Joanna Hardis helps us change our agenda from one of fruitlessly fighting the discomfort to one of leaning into it and relating to it better. Her amazing book takes scientifically proven cognitive-behavioral therapy strategies and blends them with her own wit, humor, illustrative case examples, and useful experiential exercises (and even a few f-bombs). You will definitely enjoy her entertaining and creative writing—but more importantly, you will benefit from Joanna’s knowledge and expertise.” —Jon Abramowitz, PhD, Professor of Psychology at University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
