\n Alan Currie has spent decades drawing on experience through working with people across South Ayrshire who live with anxiety, overthinking and emotional pressure.\n<\/p>\n
\n However, the former psychiatric nurse and mental health nurse knew that he wanted to make change and break taboos in 2026.\n<\/p>\n
\n He has now published his third book called The Version of You which completes the first stage of a wider series he is building.\n<\/p>\n

\n He told the Advertiser: “The central idea behind the book is that you don\u2019t become the life you want. You become the person you\u2019ve been practising to be.\n<\/p>\n
\n “The first two books looked at what we carry emotionally and why anxiety and other patterns can repeat.\n<\/p>\n
\n “This book takes that understanding forward and asks a different question: who is actually creating your behaviour and making your everyday decisions?\n<\/p>\n
\n “It looks at identity, habits, fear, self-doubt, confidence and the small choices we repeatedly make that gradually create the person we become.”\n<\/p>\n
\n In April, he published ‘The Rucksack You Carry’, which he hoped would introduce a simple concept<\/a> that many people are quietly carrying far more than they realise.\n<\/p>\n \n Rather than viewing anxiety as a weakness, Alan explained it as a natural response from a nervous system that has learned to stay on guard.\n<\/p>\n \n By breaking this down in a clear, relatable way, the book helps readers make sense of what\u2019s happening inside both their mind and body.\n<\/p>\n
