Opis

A riveting, revelatory and moving account of one man's battle with anxiety, and a history of the efforts to understand the condition by scientists, philosophers, artists and writers, from Freud to Hippocrates and from Samuel Johnson to Charles Darwin. At once humorous and inspirational, learned and empathetic, 'My Age of Anxiety' exposes the terrain of an affliction that is pervasive and too often misunderstood.
