In \u003ci\u003eAnxious\u003c\/i\u003e, Joseph LeDoux, whose NYU lab has been at the forefront of research efforts to understand and treat fear and anxiety, explains the range of these disorders, their origins, and discoveries that can restore sufferers to normalcy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e LeDoux's groundbreaking premise is that we've been thinking about fear and anxiety in the wrong way. These are not innate states waiting to be unleashed from the brain, but experiences that we assemble cognitively. Treatment of these problems must address both their conscious manifestations and underlying non-conscious processes. While knowledge about how the brain works will help us discover new drugs, LeDoux argues that the greatest breakthroughs may come from using brain research to help reshape psychotherapy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A major work on one of our most pressing mental health issues, \u003ci\u003eAnxious\u003c\/i\u003e explains the science behind fear and anxiety disorders. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eAnxious\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\" \u003ci\u003eAnxious\u003c\/i\u003e] helps to explain and prevent the kinds of debilitating anxieties all of us face in this increasingly stressful world.\" --Daniel J.
