My Age of Anxiety

Fear, Hope, Dread, and the Search for Peace of Mind
Sep 21, 2016
In his candid memoir My age of anxiety: Fear, Hope, Dread and the Search for Peace of Mind, Scott Stossel elegantly juxtaposes his own anxiety with the historical, medical and societal trends of mental health illness. Through a first person narrative the author intimately draws readers into his striking mental breakdowns during major life milestones that include his wedding day. Similar to the candid writing styles of Patricia Pearson and Jenny Lawson, Scott Stossel provides readers with a truthful and honest glimpse into his anxiety-ridden life.
