Remarkable, pioneering, could change your life

Brotheridge has a clear and simple method to help readers break free from the cycle of panic and dread, by arming them with various tools and techniques

Many young women struggle with confidence, compulsive people-pleasing, and an inability to speak up and ask for what they really want. Now, Chloe Brotheridge offers her expert advice on how young women should take up space, speak up, and put themselves first. 
 
We often think that confidence is either something we have or don't have, but it can be built like a muscle. Chloe herself used to have panic attacks during presentations but can now confidently present to hundreds of people. The key to her transformation was to create more time and space for herself, to say 'no' to things that aren't in her own best interests, and to stop worrying about what other people think of her.

Chloe Brotheridge

From the bestselling author of The Anxiety Solution, Chloe Brotheridge, comes a powerful new message: calm isn’t the reward for success - it’s the secret to it. 
 
Laying out research-backed practical tools, The Anxiety Reset, offers short and effective micro-habits for high-functioning, anxious achievers. If you’re feeling stuck, constantly striving yet never quite feeling ‘done’, Chloe offers a sustainable way forward: pause > reset > flow. This isn’t about slowing down for the sake of it. It’s about strategic resets that help you do less and achieve more: 
 
More clarity. 
More focus. 
More success. 
 
You don’t need more hours in the day. You just need five minutes to reset. The right five minutes can change the tone of your day, and over time, the direction of your life.
