SHORTLISTED FOR THE WELLCOME BOOK PRIZE

As recently as thirty-five years ago, anxiety did not exist as a diagnostic category. Today, it is the most common form of officially classified mental illness. Scott Stossel gracefully guides us across the terrain of an affliction that is pervasive yet too often misunderstood.

Drawing on his own long-standing battle with anxiety, Stossel presents an astonishing history, at once intimate and authoritative, of the efforts to understand the condition from medical, cultural, philosophical and experiential perspectives. He ranges from the earliest medical reports of Galen and Hippocrates, through later observations by Robert Burton and Søren Kierkegaard, to the investigations by great nineteenth-century scientists, such as Charles Darwin, William James and Sigmund Freud, as they began to explore its sources and causes, to the latest research by neuroscientists and geneticists. Stossel reports on famous individuals who struggled with anxiety, as well as the afflicted generations of his own family. His portrait of anxiety reveals not only the emotion’s myriad manifestations and the anguish it produces, but also the countless psychotherapies, medications and other (often outlandish) treatments that have been developed to counteract it. Stossel vividly depicts anxiety’s human toll – its crippling impact, its devastating power to paralyse – while at the same time exploring how those who suffer from it find ways to manage and control it.

My Age of Anxiety is learned and empathetic, humorous and inspirational, offering the reader great insight into the biological, cultural and environmental factors that contribute to the affliction.

Recensione:
"Unflinchingly honest and written in an accessible style...This is a courageous, entertaining and well-researched book about a condition that is thought to currently affect 15 percent if people in the UK." (Independent)

"[A] vivid, smart exploration of the history of anxiety. Stossel tackles genetics, nature and nurture, drug development, and changing medical and philosophical attitudes with the lightest of touches." (Marie Claire)

"[A] courageous and hilarious journey to the edge of insanity...Stossel’s patient, conscientious uncertainty contains more wit and sensitivity than a hundred manifestos...an immense achievement." (Sunday Telegraph)

"Fascinating and hugely entertaining. An intense, incredibly brave narrative tinged with moments of outright hilarity, it’s impossible to put down." (Ben Mezrich)

"Careful and clearly written, his book contains more truth, wit and sensitivity than 100 manifestos." (Daily Telegraph)

"For anyone who wants to know all about anxiety from a dazzlingly honest sufferer’s perspective, it’s hard to imagine a better book than this." (BBC Focus magazine)

"He brings to this story depth, intelligence and perspective that could enlighten untold fellow sufferers for years to come." (Elizabeth Gilbert)
Descrizione del libro:
