Summary of Britt Frank's The Science of Stuck

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

#1 Anxiety is a superpower that can alter time, leap tall buildings in a single bound, and laser its way through concrete. Most of us learned to view anxiety as an adversary. This chapter will teach you how to view anxiety in a new way.

#2 Anxiety is one of the most important ingredients to getting out of stuck mode. It is clear from the epidemic of panicked, addicted, anxious, overwhelmed, and physically ill people that something is wrong with our understanding of anxiety.

#3 Anxiety is not fun, and it can feel life-threatening and disorienting. It makes sense that you’ve looked outside yourself for answers. But the answers to your questions are found inside your own mind. When you try to numb out or avoid anxiety through eating, watching YouTube, comparing yourself to perfect-looking Facebook posts, or drinking, you miss out on powerful signals from your inner world that point you toward your most authentic self.

#4 I grew up in New York City, and I was always anxious. I was taught to keep my emotions in check, and I was expected to be quiet and not upset my father. I had no idea what life would look like, but I knew it would involve being able to eat a meal without calculating every calorie, sleeping without waking up covered in sweat, and being able to look critically at relationships.
