We have actually known for some time that developing compassion for oneself and others can help us face up to and win through the hardship and find a sense of inner peace.

When we worry it's like the engine of our mind is constantly being revved up. It doesn't allow us time to switch off and rest. It tires us out. And when we're tired we are less likely to think straight. And when we're not thinking straight it's easy to make stupid mistakes and confuse priorities...But relax. There is a way forward.In How Not to Worry Paul McGee shows us that there is a way to tackle life's challenges in a calmer and more considered way.
