When Life Gives You Worry Lemons is a concise, science-based and humorous field guide to reclaiming your mental freedom-turning late-night overthinking and everyday stress into clarity, courage, and calm.

We all worry. At 3:17 AM when sleep won't come. At work, when the inbox overflows. In conversations replayed on loop. The problem? Your brain is still running the Caveman Operating System 1.0—built to dodge sabre-toothed tigers, not modern pressures.

This no-nonsense playbook shows you how to:
• Understand why your brain reacts the way it does
• Calm the noise when worries overwhelm
• Spot which worries deserve attention-and which to let go
• Turn stress into clarity and fear into fuel

Written with sharp insight, practical tools (including the Decision Tree), and a healthy squeeze of humour, it's designed to be read in a sitting, worked through over time, and used for years.
