“I read Monkey Mind with admiration for its bravery and clarity….I broke out into explosive laughter again and again.”
— Neurologist and bestselling writer Oliver Sacks

“Monkey Mind does for anxiety what William Styron’s Darkness Visible did for depression.”
— Aaron Beck, the most influential doctor in modern psychotherapy

In the insightful narrative tradition of Oliver Sacks, Monkey Mind is an uplifting, smart, and very funny memoir of life with anxiety—America’s most common psychological complaint. Daniel Smith’s Monkey Mind is the articulation of what it is like to live with anxiety. As he travels through anxiety’s demonic layers, Smith defangs the disorder with great humor and evocatively expresses its self-destructive absurdities and painful internal coherence.
