Anxiety as Your Secret Superpower
Ever walked into a meeting with your heart racing, convinced you're about to be exposed as a fraud despite your impressive track record? You're not alone. For millions of high-achievers, anxiety is the unwelcome companion to success. But what if this anxiety isn't holding you back-but actually propelling you forward? "The Anxious Achiever" challenges the long-held belief that anxiety and leadership are incompatible. Instead, many of the world's most successful people aren't succeeding despite their anxiety-they're succeeding because of it, once they learn to harness it properly. Anxiety serves as an overprotective ally. Our brain's limbic system, particularly the amygdala, constantly scans for threats. When it detects danger-real or perceived-it triggers our fight-flight-freeze response. Some of us have hypervigilant amygdalas that treat everyday uncertainties like existential threats. Understanding this protective origin allows us to reframe anxiety as an "overeager friend who's trying so very hard to help" rather than an enemy to be vanquished. Through neuroplasticity-our brain's ability to form new neural connections-we can make anxiety more manageable. This is precisely where overachievers excel: taking action to change thinking, which changes behavior and creates new possibilities.
