Living with anxiety, with Scott Stossel, national editor of The Atlantic

Living with anxiety, with Scott Stossel, national editor of The Atlantic

I interview Scott Stossel, who is the national editor of the magazine The Atlantic, and the author of the book My Age of Anxiety: Fear, Hope, Dread, and the Search for Peace of Mind. That book is a history of humanity's understanding and treatment of anxiety, and also a personal history in which Scott recounts honestly and openly his own struggles with extreme, 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. I (host Zach Elwood) also talk about my own struggles with anxiety, which have taken a different form from Scott's. Learn more about the show and get transcripts at⁠ ⁠behavior-podcast.com⁠⁠.
