Anxious People

Paree Jambhekar, psychologist, Andheri
Fredrik Backman’s book is a brilliant look at how our inner world — thoughts, feelings, experiences — propel us towards choices, both helpful and unhelpful. The stories are interconnected, and run parallel to a police investigation. One theme that recurs is how we, humans, need support and someone to understand us, in all our messy and chaotic ways.
