Introducing Mente Selvaggia, the new book by Steve Biddulph that reshapes how we understand anxiety, emotional wellbeing, and our connection to the natural world.
With his trademark warmth and clarity, one of the world’s most beloved psychologists guides us into the oldest – and often forgotten – part of our mind: the intuitive, animal self that can lead us toward strength, presence, and love.
Many of us struggle with anxiety, insecurity, blurred boundaries, or a constant sense of exhaustion. Biddulph begins right there, at the heart of our vulnerabilities, revealing a path to healing increasingly supported by neuroscience: reactivating our “Mente Selvaggia”, the inner resource that has allowed humans (and all animals) to thrive for millions of years.
Through accessible explanations, compelling stories, and practical exercises, the book helps us reconnect with a deep inner wisdom we have long ignored. This inner ally is both fierce and tender, capable of easing anxiety, transforming painful memories, and strengthening our capacity to love.
Mente Selvaggia also looks ahead: at the impact our emotional disorientation has on younger generations and on a world where disconnection is becoming the norm. It is an invitation to rediscover our place in the greater whole.
A book for those who struggle, those who search, and those who want to live more intensely.
A book for anyone ready to meet the other half of themselves.
