Critics Review
The Anxiety Project is a journey, both literal and literary … his account is both highly relatable … and fascinating * Sunday Business Post *
Like a modern-day Hercules, Daan Heerma van Voss takes up arms against anxiety, and manages to defeat it by synthesising studies and data, and forging them into a powerful personal story. A thrilling journey though philosophers, artists, super heroes, experts and patients, written in his distinct and brutally honest voice * Tzum *
A fascinating journey through time and space, and an intriguing combination of science, essay and memoir * Psychology Magazine *
An honest and revealing book, in which Heerma van Voss searches for the roots of our modern fears. The result: confessional literature at its best, while never losing touch with broader societal matters * NRC *
Original, sparkling, and often chilling * HP / De Tijd *
Revealing and profound, and Herma Van Voss’s voice as a novelist ties it together beautifully * De Limburger *
This book deserves all the readers in the world. A deeply personal portrait of how one lives with anxiety, coming deep from within. An intense and essential experience for many a reader – Abdelkader Benali
I am deeply impressed. Truly an encyclopaedia of the many ways fear and anxiety are rooted in modern Western culture – Marcel Möring
For subjective insight The Anxiety Project is superb … If you want to know how it feels, or what it can do to quality of life and everyday functioning, [it] will tell you * Times Literary Supplement *
