Anna Lembke MD
Blending relatable stories with neuroscience, Dr. Lembke makes the bold claim that we are a generation addicted to control. As the ultimate optimizers, we live in constant fear of taking a false step, making the wrong choice, and missing out on our best lives. The result? An epidemic of anxiety, loneliness, boredom, and self-loathing shame.
She argues that the antidote to the endemic narcissism and nihilism that pervade our self-obsessed, hyper-rational, disenchanted universe, is living a surrendered life. Using her personal story of loss and subsequent existential reckoning as a powerful entry point, Dr. Lembke defines surrender as the moment we acknowledge a power greater than ourselves and embrace uncertainty. Less mastery and a return to mystery.
Science-based and deeply inspiring, Radical Surrender is the perfect book for anyone seeking stronger family and work relationships, more peace in their everyday existence, and a deeper connection with the natural world.

Critic reviews
“A beautifully personal and deeply researched antidote to the often overwhelming time we’re living in. Through science, spirituality, and personal stories, Dr. Lembke makes an undeniable case for relinquishing control for a more fulfilling existence.”
–Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone
“Anna Lembke writes with a rare combination of scientific clarity and spiritual humility. In a culture that glorifies achievement, certainty, and control, Radical Surrender offers a wiser and more soulful path to feeling more fully alive. This book is like a steady hand held out to us in the dark.”
–Robert Waldinger, MD, New York Times bestselling coauthor of The Good Life
