Full Description
Alfonso Casas's MonsterMind is a very personal account of the inner
monsters that live inside his head.
But, who doesn't have a
monster inside them?
Who has never heard that voice inside their head
undermining everything they do? You're not good enough . . . You just got
really lucky . . . There are people far better and more qualified than you . .
.
In a very honest exercise, Alfonso Casas identifies and introduces his
own monsters to his readers: Mr. Past Traumas, Mr. Fear, Mr. Social Anxiety, Mr.
Impostor Syndrome, Mr. Sadness, Mr. Doubt... The pessimistic, the insecure, the
self-demanding, the monster that keeps you from sleeping while you think of what
you could have said back in that conversation two years ago, or that keeps you
looking over the punctuation of every text message to figure out the tone
lurking beneath the surface. All those monsters make up the bestiary of
contemporary society.
But the anxiety generation is expert in more
things: in looking inside themselves and their lives, and--why
not?--in laughing at their own neuroses as best they can. In the
end, if the monsters won't leave us, we might as well get to know them and
laugh at them!
Anxiety is another pandemic, but the monsters dwelling
inside us are funny, too (especially as drawn by Alfonso Casas).
