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

became a deeper exploration into the relationship between routine,
overthinking, discipline, and mental peace. Drawing from personal
reflections, psychology, behavioural science, spirituality, and practical

mind and why purposeful action can become one of the most effective
remedies. Inside this book, you will discover:

Abhishek Gilara offers readers a refreshing perspective: The goal is not to eliminate uncertainty.
The goal is to remain stable despite uncertainty. Because peace does not come from controlling
the future.
Peace comes from engaging fully with the present. The Antidote to Anxiety is a practical guide
