Sommario/riassunto |
|
Paranoia is as common as depression, but most of us know little about it. Drawing on scientific research, this accessible book answers the key questions about paranoia - from how we can deal with it, to whether we're living in a uniquely paranoid age - and highlights the central role of paranoia in our world. |
