Fogg's new book is Beautiful Trauma: An Explosion, an Obsession, and a New Lease on Life.
At the Guardian Fogg tagged ten "books written by patients who, for their own unique and fascinating reasons, also chose to incorporate the science underlying their experiences of illness." One title on the list:
The Collected Schizophrenias by Esmé Weijun WangRead about the other entries on the list.
With keen insight and devastating clarity, Esmé Weijun Wang describes the delusions, hallucinations and panic attacks that characterise her experience of schizoaffective disorder; the disease’s influence on her identity and ambitions; and the medical establishment’s struggles to define, diagnose and treat the different kinds of schizophrenia. Eschewing a comfortingly false recovery arc, she instead meditates on what it means to live with our limitations, not despite them.
