OHIO, USA – Aug. 28, 2026 – Anxiety affects millions of people every day, yet it is often misunderstood as something that must be eliminated. In his new book, Anxiety is NOT the Enemy: Managing and Controlling Anxiety in Your Everyday Life, psychologist Michael Raulin, PhD, presents a refreshing, evidence-based perspective that reframes anxiety as a normal and essential part of life. When properly managed, anxiety can become one of our greatest strengths.
Rather than encouraging readers to fight or suppress anxiety, Dr. Raulin explains why anxiety exists and how it serves as a natural warning system that helps people recognize risks, prepare effectively, and make better decisions. Drawing from more than 20 years of experience diagnosing and treating anxiety disorders, he provides readers with practical tools to understand how anxiety works, why it sometimes becomes overwhelming, and how to manage it without losing its valuable benefits.
The book explores the science behind anxiety, its role in everyday life, and proven strategies for keeping it under control. It also offers readers a clear understanding of anxiety disorders and the treatments available, making it an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to improve their emotional well-being or support someone living with anxiety.
“Anxiety is not your enemy,” Dr. Raulin explains. “It is a normal process that helps protect us and motivates us to prepare for life’s challenges. When we learn to manage it instead of fearing it, anxiety becomes an asset rather than a problem.”
Dr. Raulin’s perspective is grounded in decades of professional practice. He founded and directed an Anxiety Disorders Clinic, where he specialized in diagnosing and treating anxiety disorders while also training graduate students in evidence-based clinical care. Throughout his distinguished career, he has authored more than 50 scholarly articles and book chapters and has received numerous awards recognizing his excellence in teaching, professional achievement, and service.
In addition to Anxiety is NOT the Enemy, Dr. Raulin has written several respected books, including Abnormal Psychology, Research Methods: A Process of Inquiry, The Art of Communication, Teaching Leadership Skills to High School Students: Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA), and If Only I Had Known, demonstrating his long-standing commitment to education, psychology, and personal development.
Whether readers experience everyday stress, struggle with chronic anxiety, or simply want to better understand how the mind works, Anxiety is NOT the Enemy offers practical guidance rooted in science, compassion, and decades of clinical expertise. The book empowers readers to recognize anxiety for what it truly is, not something to fear, but something that can be understood, managed, and used to live a healthier, more successful life.
