'A powerful and beautifully written account of Morgan's experiences with anxiety and depression ... Her willingness to share what so many others strive to keep hidden, to thoroughly demystify her condition, is courageous and compelling.'
The Guardian
A vivid insight into the crippling impact of anxiety disorder, a condition that is often invisible and frequently misunderstood.
Anxiety for Beginners offers a vivid insight into the often crippling impact of anxiety disorders, a condition that is frequently invisible, shrouded in shame and misunderstood. It serves as a guide for those who live with anxiety disorders and those who live with them by proxy.
Combining her own experiences (rendered in emotive detail) with extensive research by experts (neuroscientists, psychiatrists, psychologists and fellow sufferers – including some familiar faces), Eleanor Morgan explores not just the roots of her own anxiety, but also investigates what might be contributing to so many of us suffering around the world.
Anxiety for Beginners is, at its heart, an audiobook about acceptance, as Morgan discovers the ways in which people can live a life that is not just manageable but enjoyable, learning to accept anxiety as part of who we are rather than spending a life fighting and being ashamed of it.
'This fusion of memoir and scientific investigation is very accessible ... with a generous dollop of humanity.'
The Irish Times
