About the book "When in Doubt, Make Belief"
Uncertainty: It's a word we're hearing over and over again in recent months. From the global economy and geopolitics to our own careers and retirement plans, it seems most everything in our lives is in a state of flux. Navigating these uncertain times can be tough, and as countless people are discovering it's all too easy to become consumed by the seemingly endless "what-if" questions we're faced with daily.

Author Jeff Bell knows a thing or two about living with uncertainty. As someone who has battled with, and recovered from, the very worst of obsessive compulsive disorder (a.k.a. The Doubting Disease), Bell has learned firsthand how debilitating uncertainty can be and just what it takes to live effectively with it. In When in Doubt, Make Belief: An OCD-Inspired Approach to Living with Uncertainty, Bell shares the many life lessons OCD and its treatment have taught him and offers a pragmatic, step-by-step approach to confronting fear and worry.
