Summary
After a decade of living with panic attacks and anxiety, Tim Clare made a promise to himself - he would try everything he could to get better, every method and medicine.
His year of treatments took him from anti-depressants to hypnosis, running to extreme diets, ice baths to faecal transplants. At the end of it he discovers what helps him (and what doesn’t), and what might help others. Most of all, he comes to rethink anxiety and encourages all of us to do the same.

Critics Review
‘A clever blend of memoir, science and useful advice … what really resonates is his honest account of his own panic attacks and what it is like to try to come off sertraline … a brave and moving book - one that offers lots of practical help’ - Independent, Books of the Month
‘This is the best book I’ve ever read on anxiety, health and being an anxious person on this planet … [a] gift of a book’ - EMMA GANNON
‘Fascinating, thought-provoking, vulnerable and generous, Coward is an important book. I wish everyone would read it’ - CATHY RENTZENBRINK
‘It’s a meditation on the science and purpose of anxiety, its function and the disability it causes. It’s reassuring and funny in equal measure’ - DR CHRIS VAN TULLEKEN
‘A rigorous, sceptical and jolly account of anxiety, its causes, and how it might be cured’ - The Times
