Thought-provoking and such fun' Ian Mortimer, bestselling author of The Time Traveller's GuidesA Times Best Non-fiction Book for Autumn 2022A captivating A-Z from the bestselling author of The Suspicions of Mr WhicherDo you recoil in arachnophobic horror at the sight of a spider - or twitch with nomophobia when you misplace your mobile phone? Do your book-buying habits verge on bibliomania? Perhaps you find yourself mired in indecision and uncertainty? (Would it be reassuring to give this a name: aboulomania?)Our phobias and manias are contradictory and multiple: deeply intimate, yet forged by the times we live in - the commonest form of anxiety disorder, but rarely given a formal diagnosis.

Kate Summerscale , formerly the literary editor of the Daily Telegraph (London), is the author of The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher , a number one bestseller in the UK, which was translated into more than a dozen languages and won the Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction and the British Book Awards Book
