Blending memoir, self-help and science, and offering practical help, Tim Clare asks us to rethink anxiety
In a space crowded with arrogant, dogmatic self-help, this is a story which actually delivers something useful. 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
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
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

More about
the book
Tim Clare has suffered from anxiety and panic attacks for over a decade. At their worst, his attacks would see him curled on the floor, screaming to his wife for help. When they became more than he and his family could manage, Tim made a promise to himself – he would try everything he could to get better, every method and medicine.
In Coward, Tim Clare explores all the possible treatments for anxiety, from SSRIs to hypnosis, running to extreme diets. He interviews experts and becomes a guinea pig, testing their methods on himself. At the end of a year of many ups and downs, Tim 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.

Fascinating, thought-provoking, vulnerable and generous, Coward is an important book. I wish everyone would read it
Cathy Rentzenbrink
Funny, fascinating, brilliant and brave, Coward isn't a self-help guide to beating anxiety – it's far more valuable than that

Tim Clare may call himself a coward but this brave and beautiful memoir proves he’s anything but. This isn’t a manifesto or self-help book – instead Coward is a darkly comic, deftly researched and devastatingly moving meditation on the pain and self-loathing of anxiety and the redemptive power of love to help us change our minds. This is a must-read for all of us trying to stay sane in an increasingly distressing world
