THE ANTIDOTE TO ANXIETY

Why does anxiety grow when nothing is happening? Why do future events often feel more frightening than they actually are? Why does the mind continue worrying even when there is no immediate problem to solve? And most importantly: How can we regain control? In The Antidote to Anxiety, entrepreneur, author, and business leader Dr. Abhishek Gilara shares a powerful insight learned during one of the most significant moments of his professional journey—an IPO listing. What began as a personal experience with pre-event anxiety became a deeper exploration into the relationship between routine, overthinking, discipline, and mental peace. Drawing from personal reflections, psychology, behavioural science, spirituality, and practical life experience, this book reveals why anxiety often thrives in an idle mind and why purposeful action can become one of the most effective remedies.
