ByPublisher Description
Years after September 11, 2001, we’re still scared. And why not? Terrorists could strike at any moment. Our country is at war. The polar caps are melting. Hurricanes loom. We struggle to control our fear so that we can go about our daily lives. Our national consciousness has been torqued by trauma, in the process transforming our behavior, our expectations, our legal system.
In The Myth of SanityThe Myth of Sanity, Martha Stout analyzed how we cope with personal trauma. In her national bestseller The Sociopath Next DoorThe Sociopath Next Door, she showed how to avoid suffering psychological damage at the hands of others. Now, in The Paranoia SwitchThe Paranoia Switch, she offers a groundbreaking clinical, neuro-psychological, and practical examination of what terror and fear politics have done to our minds, and to the very biology of our brains.
In this timely and essential book, Stout assures us that we can interrupt the cycle of trauma and look forward to a future free of fear only by understanding our own paranoia—and what flips the paranoia switch.
