STRANGERS TO OURSELVES by Rachel Aviv
Rachel Aviv was on The Ezra Klein Show podcast to discuss her nonfiction debut STRANGERS TO OURSELVES, as well as a variety of mental health topics such as “how mental states like depression and anxiety can be socially contagious, how mental illnesses differ from physical ailments like diabetes and high blood pressure, what Aviv’s own experience with childhood anorexia taught her about psychology and diagnosis, how having too much ‘insight’ into our mental states can sometimes hurt us, how social forces like racism and classism can activate psychological distress,” and more. Farrar, Straus and Giroux published the book on September 13, 2022.
