9781838853136 64831f2d64c6985a32f189e7 Coward Why We Get Anxious & What We Can Do About It https://www.midlandbookshop.com/s/607fe93d7eafcac1f2c73ea4/64831f2d64c6985a32f18a1a/4119ivsgu3l-_sx323_bo1-204-203-200_.jpg

After a decade of living with panic attacks and anxiety, Tim Clare made a promise to himself - he would try everything he could to get better, every method and medicine.

His year of treatments took him from anti-depressants to hypnosis, running to extreme diets, ice baths to faecal transplants. At the end of it he discovers what helps him (and what doesn't), and what might help others. Most of all, he comes to rethink anxiety and encourages all of us to do the same.

 

Review

A clever blend of memoir, science and useful advice . . . what really resonates is his honest account of his own panic attacks and what it is like to try to come off sertraline . . . a brave and moving book - one that offers lots of practical help - * Independent, Books of the Month *

This is the best book I've ever read on anxiety, health and being an anxious person on this planet . . . [a] gift of a book -- EMMA GANNON

Fascinating, thought-provoking, vulnerable and generous, Coward is an important book. I wish everyone would read it -- CATHY RENTZENBRINK

It's a meditation on the science and purpose of anxiety, its function and the disability it causes. It's reassuring and funny in equal measure -- DR CHRIS VAN TULLEKEN

A rigorous, sceptical and jolly account of anxiety, its causes, and how it might be cured - * The Times *

Tim Clare may call himself a coward but this brave and beautiful memoir proves he's anything but. This isn't a manifesto or self-help book - instead Coward is a darkly comic, deftly researched and devastatingly moving meditation on the pain and self-loathing of anxiety and the redemptive power of love to help us change our minds. This is a must-read for all of us trying to stay sane in an increasingly distressing world -- SUSANNAH CAHALAN

Such a tonic. Funny, honest, moving - meticulously researched. I'm learning loads. I think it will help a lot of people -- NATHAN FILER

Funny, fascinating, brilliant and brave, Coward isn't a self-help guide to beating anxiety - it's far more valuable than that -- MELISSA HARRISON
