What if the thing you’ve been running from your whole life is actually trying to save you?
How I Fell in Love with My Anxiety is the unflinchingly honest, dark and amusing account of one man’s journey from fighting his anxiety like an enemy combatant and losing, to understanding it, accepting it, and ultimately making peace with it by asking it out for a date and falling in love with it.
Adam Knights draws on military service, business battles, and brutal self-honesty to show that anxiety isn’t a weakness to be defeated. What he calls his pink spaghetti mistress was actually saving him but her approach was misunderstood.
Part memoir, part survival manual – this book won’t just change how you think about anxiety. It’ll change how you think about yourself and who knows maybe you can fall in love with your anxiety too. For those with anxiety come and join the tribe.
Raw, real, and quietly revolutionary.
Adam Knights spent nine years in the Parachute Regiment before building and selling businesses as a serial entrepreneur.
To the outside world, he had it all figured out. Inside, anxiety was running the show though.
A dyslexic former soldier who found it easier to face enemy fire than his own mind, Adam writes with dark humour, brutal honesty, and hard-won hope. This is the book he wished someone had handed him years ago so he wouldn’t have to fight his own nervous system continually.
