Need to Know: Why Needing Certainty Is Keeping You Anxious

By Kristen Genius

You are not anxious because bad things might happen. You are anxious because you cannot stop needing to know whether they will.

This is the root nobody talks about. Research by clinical psychologist Michel Dugas identified one factor that predicts chronic anxiety more reliably than almost anything else: intolerance of uncertainty. Not negative thinking. Not past trauma. The simple, devastating inability to rest while something is unresolved.

Need to Know goes straight to that root. Not coping strategies. Not breathing exercises. A clear, research-backed explanation of why the need for certainty is driving your anxiety, why every attempt to get certainty makes it worse, and the specific practice that actually changes it.

If you are tired of managing symptoms and ready to deal with the source, this book is for you.
