Psychological strategies for dealing with extreme anxiety, with The Atlantic's Scott Stossel
Podcast: People Who Read People: A Behavior and Psychology PodcastPublished On: Thu Dec 14 2023
Description: A talk with Scott Stossel, author of "My Age of Anxiety: Fear, Hope, Dread, and the Search for Peace of Mind." Scott is also national editor of The Atlantic. Scott's book is a history of the condition and treatment of anxiety, and also a personal history in which Scott talks honestly about his struggles with debilitating anxiety. I talk to Scott about what he's learned in his research and personal life about the factors behind anxiety and how we might, as much as we are able to, overcome it. We also talk about some fairly unexamined nuances about anxiety: for example, how the word can contain a multitude of very different experiences. I also talk about my own anxiety, which has been quite severe. Learn more about the show and get transcripts at behavior-podcast.com. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
