## Description

Why are we the way we are? Why do some of us find it impossible to calm a quick temper or to shake anxiety? The debate has always been divided between nature and nurture, but as psychology professor Daniel P. Keating demonstrates in Born Anxious, new DNA science points to a third factor that allows us to inherit both the nature and the nurture of previous generations―with significant consequences. Born Anxious introduces a new word into our lexicon: “methylated.” It’s short for “epigenetic methylation,” and it offers insight into behaviors we have all observed but never understood―the boss who goes ballistic at the slightest error; the infant who can’t be calmed; the husband who can’t fall asleep at night. In each case, because of an exposure to environmental adversity in utero or during the first year of life, a key stress system has been welded into the “on” position by the methylation process, predisposing the child’s body to excessive levels of the stress hormone cortisol. The effect: lifelong, unrelenting stress and its consequences–from school failure to nerve-wracking relationships to early death. Early adversity happens in all levels of society but as income gaps widen, social inequality and fear of the future have become the new predators; in Born Anxious , Daniel P. Keating demonstrates how we can finally break the cycle.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Timely Book on the Spiraling Effect of Anxiety & Policy Considerations
*by M***L on May 15, 2017*

Similar with other reviewers, I agree that this book touches on the epigenetic and social factors found to impact anxiety, and is more weighted toward policy. Although I lean into the camp that items related to policy are timely and crucial for reducing this societal burden. Anxiety plays a role in all of our lives -- some more heavily than others. The changes discussed in this book may very well be crucial in mitigating the spiraling effect that anxiety plays in some peoples lives. Cognitive Neuroscience, epigenetics and behavioral science in this area is young, but it's growing very fast. As it does, we need to consider the implications and adjust policy accordingly. The only way to do this is to convey the importance to the public, as Dr. Daniel Keating has done in Born Anxious.
