The incredible Dr. Tracy Dennis-Tiwary, author of FUTURE TENSE, joined Dax Shepard on Armchair Expert for a fantastic conversation on anxiety and the misconceptions that surround it. Readers of FUTURE TENSE know that anxiety, despite its bad reputation, is actually an evolutionary advantage. Here Tracy explains why anxiety is a “call to listen” rather than an experience to avoid, how the disease model of anxiety is hurting us, and more. Tracy and Dax also delve into the way anxiety can impact artistic performance, how nighttime anxiety helps Dax make good choices, and what the research really tells us about anxiety medications—plus pet care, Hinduism, and Tracy’s past as a musician who hated science. We can’t wait for you to hear this one. Link in bio to listen now!
