Publisher Description
Despite the hedonistic society our generation has grown up in, we’re largely unhappy. It’s been estimated in the last year that nearly 40% of adults suffer from an anxiety disorder of some kind. It’s the most common form of mental illness in the United States, trumping depression.
In this age of instantaneity, we’ve lost our ability to wait. For love, for gratification, for attention– we struggle with rapid heart beats, tapping feet and anguish. The technological advances that were meant to welcome an age of luxury have inadvertently created an age of anxiety. This is what it’s like to live with the irrational fear of fear, this is what it’s like for generation x, growing up in the Age of AnXiety.

Insightful Book
This is a great book. Easy to read with good examples of how to recognize anxiety & deal with it. There are some helpful suggestions that I thought was great for dealing with anxiety.
Absolutely fantastic.
This book elucidated anxiety so well and I felt heard and seen through each chapter. Thank you to all the incredible people who shared the story! You are not your sickness or anxiety.
Relatable and Enlightening
The pure openness of the writers was something to be admired. Anxiety is not easy to speak about and I found myself both relating to some antidotes and learning from others. Highly recommend this book
