Monkey Mind: A Memoir of Anxiety

Monkey Mind: A Memoir of Anxiety

A wildly acclaimed New York Times bestseller, this uplifting, smart, and funny memoir provides hope and understanding to the 40 million Americans who suffer from anxiety disorders.

Daniel Smithâ€™s Monkey Mind is the stunning articulation of what it is like to live with anxiety. As he travels through anxietyâ€™s demonic layers, Smith defangs the disorder with great humor and evocatively expresses its self-destructive absurdities and painful internal coherence. Aaron Beck, the most influential doctor in modern psychotherapy, says that â€œMonkey Mind does for anxiety what William Styronâ€™s Darkness Visible did for depression.â€ Neurologist and bestselling writer Oliver Sacks says, â€œI read Monkey Mind with admiration for its bravery and clarity. . . . I broke out into explosive laughter again and again.â€ Here, finally, comes relief and recognition to all those who want someone to put what they feel, or what their loved ones feel, into words.
