Download or read book My Age of Anxiety written by Scott Stossel and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2014-01-07 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A riveting, revelatory, and moving account of the author’s struggles with anxiety, and of the history of efforts by scientists, philosophers, and writers to understand the condition As recently as thirty-five years ago, anxiety did not exist as a diagnostic category. Today, it is the most common form of officially classified mental illness. Scott Stossel gracefully guides us across the terrain of an affliction that is pervasive yet too often misunderstood. Drawing on his own long-standing battle with anxiety, Stossel presents an astonishing history, at once intimate and authoritative, of the efforts to understand the condition from medical, cultural, philosophical, and experiential perspectives. He ranges from the earliest medical reports of Galen and Hippocrates, through later observations by Robert Burton and Søren Kierkegaard, to the investigations by great nineteenth-century scientists, such as Charles Darwin, William James, and Sigmund Freud, as they began to explore its sources and causes, to the latest research by neuroscientists and geneticists. Stossel reports on famous individuals who struggled with anxiety, as well as on the afflicted generations of his own family. His portrait of anxiety reveals not only the emotion’s myriad manifestations and the anguish anxiety produces but also the countless psychotherapies, medications, and other (often outlandish) treatments that have been developed to counteract it. Stossel vividly depicts anxiety’s human toll—its crippling impact, its devastating power to paralyze—while at the same time exploring how those who suffer from it find ways to manage and control it. My Age of Anxiety is learned and empathetic, humorous and inspirational, offering the reader great insight into the biological, cultural, and environmental factors that contribute to the affliction.

Download or read book Ageless Man written by Georges Debled, MD and published by . This book was released on 2017-09-30 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sooner or later, starting from forty, each man knows various disorders: general tiredness, overweight, cardiovascular troubles, sexual problems, memory losses, irritability, and tendency to depress. Often, they put these disturbances on stress and overwork. These disorders are actually due to a natural phenomenon easy to diagnose: the progressive reduction in the production of male hormones. It is the androgenic disease of andropause or andropause disease. To neglect this phenomenon leads to early aging and the development of psychological problems, which can affect personal life. However, for many years, the treatment of male aging exists. Thanks to suitable hormonal proportioning, it is possible to slow down aging and even to prevent it. But for lack of information or because they do not dare speak of their problems, men seldom resort to medicine. Georges Debled MD, Associate Professor of Urology, and specialist in andrology joins together in these bright and precise book results of most recent medical research and its forty years of experience on treatment and prevention of aging diseases. He presented this topic in Dallas in 1992. Unfortunately, generally, androgenic disease of andropause is only recognized, occasionally and tardily by doctors, at its end-stage called Low Testosterone in old age. But andropause disease has a commencement around forty, and sometimes before. That condition produces a pathologic fall in the production of dihydrotestosterone, the potent sexual hormone produced from the transformation of testosterone, and, consequently, sexual aging. With time, lack of androgens induces diabetes, high cholesterol, arterial rigidity and hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, osteoarthritis, hearing and eye troubles, nervous breakdown, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's diseases. The Ageless Man explains the facts and principles of sexual aging, prostate problems, and conditions of aging since their early stages; and how to prevent them. Prevention of diseases of aging should be a priority for everyone who wants to live healthy longevity beyond eighty. The Ageless Man is already born. Do you want to be him?
Download or read book Always Postpone Meetings with Time Wasting Morons written by Scott Adams and published by Andrews McMeel Publishing. This book was released on 1994-03-03 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From mountain and valley, from hill and dale, people are asking, "How can I have more Dilbert in my life?" Help is at hand with a blast from the past in Scott Adams' very first compilation of Dilbert comic strips, Always Postpone Meetings with Time-Wasting Morons. It is tempting to compare Adams' work to that of Leonardo da Vinci. The differences are striking. Adams displays good jokes and strong character development, whereas da Vinci has been skating for years on his ability to do shading. Advantage: Adams. And though it may seem boorish to point this out, da Vinci wrote backwards. And he's dead. Advantage: Adams. The choice is clear. Fans looking for a book which will stand the test of time, even beyond the time you spend flipping through it in the bookstore (for which the author receives no royalties whatsoever), should buy this book. Those who are not good comparison shoppers can buy the Mona Lisa.
