Summary: <p>SCOTT STOSSEL: "MY AGE OF ANXIETY" : We all have some anxieties; perhaps a fluttering in the stomach before a speech, or nervousness boarding a plane. But Atlantic magazine editor Scott Stossel's phobias were so severe, he nearly passed out at his own wedding. And beyond the common fears many of us know, he dealt with a whole roster of others, including fears of cheese, germs and even vomiting. Stossel's new book explores his own anxiety disorders and attempts at treatment, as well as the history and science behind these conditions. (52 min.)</p>
