About Fear of Layoffs: What You Can Control vs What You Can’t

Fear of Layoffs
What You Can Control vs What You Can’t
by Shylock Miser

That sudden meeting invite.
That quiet fear you carry home.
That question you don’t say out loud: “What if I’m next?”

Fear of Layoffs is a calm, honest guide for professionals living with uncertainty—before, during, or after job insecurity. It doesn’t shout motivation or offer unrealistic promises. It speaks gently to the real emotions behind layoff fear: anxiety, overthinking, loss of control, and the fear of losing identity along with a job.

This book helps you understand what’s happening inside your mind—and how to respond with clarity instead of panic.
Inside, you’ll learn how to:
Stop overthinking worst‑case scenarios
Manage anxiety in real, everyday situations
Detach your self‑worth from your job title
Build skills that stay with you wherever you go
Prepare a calm, realistic Plan B
Rebuild confidence if a layoff happens
Whether nothing has happened yet—or everything already has—this book reminds you of one grounding truth:
You can’t control company decisions.
But you can control how prepared, steady, and resilient you become.

This is not about fear.
It’s about regaining calm, control, and direction—one step at a time.

About UP SET YOURSELF: 9 Steps to Heal from Anxiety, Pain and Self-Loss

UP SET YOURSELF: 9 Steps to Heal from Anxiety, Pain, and Self-Loss
By Shishir Pradhan

You’re not broken — you’re divided.
And it’s time to bring yourself back together.

In a world obsessed with “positive thinking” and surface-level self-help, UP SET YOURSELF goes deeper — into the quiet war between your Shadow (the anxious, fearful critic within) and your Self (the calm, wise core you’ve forgotten how to hear).

Author Shishir Pradhan doesn’t preach from a pedestal. He speaks from the trenches of lived experience — a decade of battling chronic anxiety, burnout, and self-doubt — and reveals the exact system that transformed his pain into peace.

Through nine practical, life-changing steps, this book will teach you how to:

Witness your anxiety without being consumed by it.

Let go of the fight against fear and allow healing to flow naturally.

Unmask the toxic Inner Critic that keeps you stuck in self-blame.

Anchor your Self in the body, turning awareness into stability.

Transform old emotional wounds into fuel for confidence and purpose.

Integrate your light and dark sides into one powerful, whole being.

Build boundaries, balance, and resilience that last a lifetime.

Each chapter blends science, spirituality, and story, weaving powerful insights with grounded, daily practices — breathing rituals, journaling prompts, and real-life reflections — so you don’t just read healing, you experience it.

This isn’t a book about “getting rid of” your anxiety. It’s about discovering the calm beneath it. It’s not about chasing perfection — it’s about coming home to your wholeness.

If you’ve ever felt lost, anxious, or disconnected from who you truly are, UP SET YOURSELF will show you the way back — not to a fantasy version of you, but to the real, resilient Self that’s been waiting all along.
