Northfielder Henry Emmons was profiled on the front page of the Variety section in yesterday’s StarTribune in a piece titled Capturing calm. "A Minnesota psychiatrist and author is trying to shake up how people think about mental illness." Henry’s second book, was released last month: The Chemistry of Calm: A Powerful, Drug-Free Plan to Quiet Your Fears and Overcome Your Anxiety.
He’s got a new website with three other colleagues, Partners in Resilience.
We work in collaboration to create transformative programs and provide encouraging individual services that promote resilience in the face of stress-related conditions such as anxiety and depression.
The Strib failed to mention the biggest news of all, IMHO. Henry now is a blogger. See his Chemistry of Calm blog at Psychology Today’s website. You can also subscribe to the blog’s RSS feed.
This book looks like a good primer for anyone. We should all be taking care of our mental health as well as our physical health. Food and what we put into our bodies covers both areas to a certain degree, but there’s more to it. Emmon’s book looks like it covers all the known bases in a clear manner.
