Book excerpt: Ask anyone who suffers from chronic anxiety, and they will insist that their affliction isn't visible to the naked eye. Our fears are private, arbitrary, idiosyncratic, and anxiety, as such, is a lonely predicament. Patricia Pearson's funny, rueful, and inquisitive book reaches out to all who suffer from anxiety disorder or love someone who does. "A wholly satisfying mix of memoir, cultural history and investigative journalism." --Kirkus
