Acerca de esta escucha
An exploration of the connection between anxiety and the body by a clinical psychologist, drawing from the latest research alongside historical and cultural insights, arguing that only through understanding anxiety’s grasp on us can we transform it into resilience
Most of us are intimately familiar with anxiety, and with its increasing hold on our minds, our hopes and plans, and our bodies. But how well do we really understand it, and what can we do to transform it into something new—into resilience, or courage, or creativity?
In this extraordinary book, Dr. Alexandra Shaker, a clinical psychologist, takes us on a journey through the body—from brain to blood to heart to guts—to examine the connections between our emotional, psychological, and physical lives. She unravels what the body can teach us about anxiety, and what we can learn from our long cultural history of the anxious impulse.
Melding psychology, neuroscience, history, and literature, she considers why—despite all the checklists and scientific advancements—we are still struggling to outrun our oldest terrors, and how a new approach focused on accepting anxiety as part of the human condition can help revolutionise our relationship with it.

“The Narrowing is a transformative and compassionate exploration of anxiety. Integrating rigorous science with therapeutic insights, Shaker demystifies the intricate workings of anxiety, offering readers new perspectives on their mental landscape. For those ready to reclaim their calm, The Narrowing is an intelligent guide to a life of resilience.”—Galit Atlas, PhD, author of Emotional Inheritance, faculty of the New York University Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy & Psychoanalysis
“The Narrowing is a compassionate and accessible exploration of anxiety, illuminating how the body’s threat responses can be gently reoriented toward safety and resilience. Consistent with the polyvagal theory, Alexandra Shaker empowers readers to understand anxiety as a dynamic, physiological process, fostering self-awareness, healing, and growth.”—Stephen W. Porges, PhD, author of The Polyvagal Theory
“The Narrowing is a profound and powerful reframing of anxiety, full of passion and depth of knowledge made accessible. In a world that can often feel chaotic, Shaker’s words help us regain a sense of safety within ourselves.”—Anna Mathur, author of The Uncomfortable Truth

We all spend a lot of energy trying to get people to listen to us, and despite our best efforts, we often fail. But what if the secret to influencing others was to demonstrate acceptance? Enter validation—communication where one accepts and sees the validity in another person’s experience. Research on validation shows that it has profound effects, from improving relationships and de-escalating conflicts to increasing one’s influence and self-compassion.

We’ve been taught that resilience is the secret to navigating life’s most difficult moments. According to New York Times bestselling author and organizational psychologist Dr. Tasha Eurich, there is just one problem with this assumption. Scientifically, resilience isn’t an unlimited resource, especially with the growing pressure, uncertainty, and chaos we’re experiencing today. But what if, instead of merely “bouncing back” from stressors and setbacks, we could harness them for forward growth?

The right idea, invoked at the right time, can change our lives. Drawing from her long studies of happiness, and also from the challenges she’s faced herself, writer Gretchen Rubin has discovered the “Secrets of Adulthood” that can help us manage the complexities of life. To convey her conclusions, she turned to the aphorism—the ancient literary discipline that demands that a writer convey a large truth in a few words.
