This is an irreverent A-Z guide to the tics, twitches and
safety-valve nuttiness of modern life. Acquired Situational
Narcissism or Psychological Phlegm? Readers will be able to discern
their every psychological quirk in this enthralling guide to the
maladies of the modern age. The modern age of anxiety threatens to
overwhelm all right-thinking people with a monster dose of angst,
ambivalence and dread. Fortunately, most manage to cope, but not
without displaying some pretty spectacular compensatory behaviour.
Even more fortunately, they can now recognise and name all of their
symptoms, courtesy of Jon Winokur's fantastic "Encyclopedia
Neurotica", a guide to absolutely everything wrong with the
behavioural patterns of the modern world. Whether suffering from
cyberchondria ("hypochondria resulting from seeing one's symptoms
on a medical website") or pronoia ("the irrational belief that
people like you"), readers will find Winokur's wry catalogue
enthralling, entertaining and educational. Arranged as a
conventional A-Z, with informative insert panels and including
hundreds of illustrative quotations from the famous, the wise and
the certifiably bonkers, "Encyclopedia Neurotica" is the one title
no latter-day loon can afford to be without.
