"Drawing on personal and extensive academic experience as leading anxiety researcher Professor Davey addresses one of the major but neglected sources of suffering in our time. Everyone should pay attention to his engaging, informative and at times controversial discourse on anxiety. This book is a must read for all those interested in one of the most fundamental but disruptive human emotions"
(Adrian Wells, Ph.D, Professor of Clinical and Experimental Psychopathology, University of Manchester)
"Graham Davey, one of the foremost experts on anxiety in the world, alerts us that 'if you're alive you'll experience anxiety'. But is it good or bad for you? Where does it come from? Is it worse now than it used to be in prior ages? And what is there to do about it? Answers to these and many other questions are forthcoming in this highly readable, entertaining book. Everyone wrestling with anxiety in their lives will benefit from the up to date information provided"
(Dr. David H. Barlow PhD, ABPP, Professor of Psychology and Pyschiatry Emeritus at Boston University)
