Synopsis
Daniel SmithâÈçs Monkey Mind is the stunning articulation of what it is like to live with anxiety. As he travels through anxietyâÈçs demonic layers, Smith defangs the disorder with great humor and evocatively expresses its self-destructive absurdities and painful internal coherence. Aaron Beck, the most influential doctor in modern psychotherapy, says that âÈêMonkey Mind does for anxiety what William StyronâÈçs Darkness Visible did for depression.âÈë Neurologist and bestselling writer Oliver Sacks says, âÈêI read Monkey Mind with admiration for its bravery and clarity. . . . I broke out into explosive laughter again and again.âÈë Here, finally, comes relief and recognition to all those who want someone to put what they feel, or what their loved ones feel, into words.
