Do you want to understand how the brain works, or do you live with anxiety yourself? This talk brings together author and podcaster Frederik Dirks Gottlieb and psychiatrist and anxiety expert Sebastian Swane. Gottlieb shares his personal story of how meeting Swane changed his life, and the two look at the inner processes that can lead to anxiety and worrying thoughts.
The conversation also covers life traps, exposure and control. You will hear how understanding, equality and behavioural techniques for calming the mind can help you manage anxiety better. The talk is based on their book "Uden angst - sådan slap jeg de negative tanker" from 2024.
Frederik Dirks Gottlieb is also performing Only in America LIVE at NORDHUS on 26 November 2026.
The event is part of the "Vild med videnskab" festival, run by Copenhagen Libraries, which brings science to adults in many formats across all Copenhagen libraries in October and November.
