📱 eBook en inglés THE MATH ANXIETY CURE

"Im just not a math person." Educator Brian Foster argues that this sentence is a lie. In "The Math Anxiety Cure," Foster explains that mathematical ability is not a fixed talent, but a skill blocked by trauma. He explores how timed tests, public shaming at the chalkboard, and the "speed culture" of schools create a cortisol response that physically shuts down the working memory needed for calculation.
Foster combines the "Growth Mindset" research of Carol Dweck with practical therapy techniques. He teaches readers how to re-regulate their nervous system when they see numbers.
The book deconstructs math myths, showing that real mathematics is about patterns and slow, deep thinking, not rapid arithmetic. It offers a path for adults to reclaim their numeracy, arguing that math anxiety is a learned behavior that can be unlearned. A healing guide for anyone who freezes when the waiter brings the bill.
