The Anatomy of Anxiety
'A redeeming way to look at the condition, as not merely a burden but ultimately a blessing ... unexpectedly moving ... validating and hopeful' Guardian 'An incredible paradigm shift in how we view anxiety' Dr Nicole LePera, author of international bestseller How to Do the Work Anxiety. It's all in your head, right? Wrong. Psychiatrist Dr Ellen Vora challenges the conventional view of anxiety as a mental disorder, suggesting instead that much of what we call anxiety begins in the body. Rather than our troubled thoughts creating physical symptoms, she argues that many types of anxiety are the result of states of imbalance in our bodies, whether blood sugar crashes, caffeine highs or sleep dep...
Summary of Ellen Vora's The Anatomy of Anxiety
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 We are in an unprecedented global crisis when it comes to mental health. An estimated one out of every nine people, or eight hundred million people, suffer from a mental health disorder, the most common of which is anxiety. #2 Anxiety has been recognized as far back as 45 BC, when the Roman philosopher Marcus Tullius Cicero wrote in the Tusculan Disputations, as translated from the Latin, Affliction, worry and anxiety are called disorders, on account of the analogy between a troubled mind and a diseased body. #3 I have found that giving a diagnostic label can become a straitjacket, narrowly defining people and profoundly shaping their life narratives. I am more interested in exploring the particulars of each patient's life and habits to start them down a path to recovery. #4 There is a distinction between false and true anxiety. False anxiety is the body communicating a physiological imbalance, whereas true anxiety is the body communicating an essential message about our lives. In false anxiety, the stress response transmits signals up to our brain telling us something is not right.

A Cybernetic View of Biological Growth
Maia is the story of an idea, and its development into a working hypothesis, that provides a cybernetic interpretation of how growth is controlled. Growth at the lowest level is controlled by regulating the rate of growth. Access to the output of control mechanisms is provided by perturbing the growing organism, and then filtering out the consequences to growth rate. The output of the growth control mechanism is then accessible for interpretation and modelling. Perturbation experiments have been used to provide interpretations of hormesis, the neutralization of inhibitory load and acquired tolerance to toxic inhibition, and catch-up growth. The account begins with an introduction to cybernetics covering the regulation of growth and population increase in animals and man and describes this new approach to access the control of growth processes. This book is suitable for postgraduate students of biological cybernetics and researchers of biological growth, endocrinology, population ecology and toxicology.
