Tim Clare has suffered from extreme anxiety and panic attacks for a decade. At their worst, his attacks would see him curled on the floor, screaming at his wife for help. This was something the couple just got used to and were able to manage, until they became parents. With the arrival of Tim's daughter came a new wave of extreme anxiety, triggered by the knowledge that his own mental ill-health could be negatively impacting his child. It was at this point that Tim made a promise to himself - that he would try everything he could to get better, every method and medicine. In Coward, Tim explores all the possible treatments for anxiety, from SRIs to hypnosis, from running to extreme diets. He interviews experts in each field and becomes a guinea pig, testing their methods on himself. By the end of the book, Tim will know what helps him and what doesn't, and what might help others, but most of all he'll come to rethink anxiety and ask all of us to do the same.

Recensioni della critica

Funny, fascinating, brilliant and brave, Coward isn't a self-help guide to beating anxiety - it's far more valuable than that (MELISSA HARRISON)
Such a tonic. Funny, honest, moving - meticulously researched. I'm learning loads. I think it will help a lot of people (NATHAN FILER)
In a space crowded with arrogant, dogmatic self-help, this is a story which actually delivers something useful. 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)
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 (SUSUANNAH CAHALAN)
