Monkey Mind: A Memoir of Anxiety.

"Long-term anxiety is something that is deep-rooted. Long-term anxiety is the result of a self-fulfilling prophecy, a repeating pattern. Like a familiar path of least resistance, that draws one into a repeating pattern.

Long-term anxiety is like the wagon-wheel ruts that have been left from the settlers who travelled across The United States in wagons. Year after year, wagon after wagon followed the same path, making the packed-earth wheel ruts ever more deep and prominent.

To fall into the same established ruts every day, is an easy outlet. However, to forge a fresh path, places one against all odds. To break from long-term anxiety, is to forge a new path every day, breaking free from the established ruts, despite the overwhelming odds"

Heard on National Public Radio, on the morning show "All Things Considered".
