The Anatomy of Anxiety
Ellen Vora · 2022
🎙 Narrated by Eileen Stevens
Holistic psychiatrist Ellen Vora draws a clear and actionable line between false anxiety — triggered by sleep debt, blood sugar swings, and caffeine — and true anxiety as an inner compass, and that framework alone earns its runtime. The Guardian called it 'unexpectedly moving' and it hit number one on the bestseller list for good reason. Earphones Award-winning narrator Eileen Stevens is polished enough that even a critic of the content singled her out for praise, which is a meaningful listen-worthy signal.
