"The most interesting Dutch writer of his generation" Herman Koch
"Vivid and moving. A marvellous hybrid of a book about one one of
the major contemporary causes of sickness and unhappiness. In it we
recognise ourselves, our restlessness and insecurity" George
Szirtes Something inside will not let me be . . . Daan Heerma van
Voss is not just anxious. According to tests on the cortisone
levels in his hair, he is seventy-four times as anxious as the
average person. And that makes him hard to live with. When another
relationship is broken by his crippling fears, the only way to cope
is to get to the roots of his condition. But he also wants to dig
deeper and tackle the big questions. Why are 264 million people
worldwide suffering from anxiety, and why is this number growing
every day? Is it hereditary? Is there a link with creativity? And
how can you love when you're living in a constant state of fear? In
his quest for answers, he takes us on a profoundly moving journey
from his apartment in Amsterdam to France, Jakarta and San
Francisco. Along the way we'll meet philosophers, artists, writers
and other fascinating individuals from around the world. But this
is also a journey through literature, the classics, the history of
anxiety and the science behind it. Timely, learned and heartfelt,
The Anxiety Project fuses the sharp musings of a curious mind with
a raw and honest dissection of a relationship undercut by fear. It
will appeal to anyone trying to remain calm on our very nervous
planet. Translated from the Dutch by David Doherty
