Reviews
"Ethan Watters has traveled the world to look at how globalization reaches far beyond economics and into people's very conceptions of what constitutes health and sanity. I find his book provocative, original, and convincing."-- Adam Hochschild, author ofBury the ChainsandKing Leopold's Ghost, "Searing, startling, and utterly unforgettable. Ethan Watters brilliantly surveys the stark interior cost of globalization, from our export of stress disorders to Sri Lanka to our marketing of depression in Japan as 'a cold of the soul.'Crazy Like Usis a grand tour of the new global psyche, distorted and darkened by the export of the American dream."-- Jason Roberts, National Book Critics Circle finalist forA Sense of the World, "Crazy Like Usis both groundbreaking and shocking...Whether Watters' book will be sand in the engines of the bulldozers remains to be seen. At least it proves the West, despite its best intentions, does not possess all the answers."--The Boston Globe, "Crazy Like Usis a blistering and truly original work of reporting and analysis, uncovering America's role in homogenizing how the world defines wellness and healing."-- Po Bronson, author ofNurtureShock, "Watters commands attention with his repartee and conversational manner while drawing much-needed attention to the consequences of Western intrusion. This fascinating book deserves attention from mental health workers and Americans interested in the reach of their culture's psyche across the globe."-- Library Journal, "I couldn't put it down.Crazy Like Usis a fascinating and provocative intellectual travelogue, and Watters is a fearless guide."-- Alan Burdick, author ofOut of Eden, "Searing, startling, and utterly unforgettable.

Crazy Like Us is a grand tour of the new global psyche, distorted and darkened by the export of the American dream." -- Jason Roberts, National Book Critics Circle finalist for A Sense of the World, "In crisp journalistic style, Watters argues convincingly that what the American psychiatric industry exports is not so much drugs as diseases." -- Mother Jones, "... in addition to the cultural flotsam that drives the rest of the world crazy, America is literally exporting its mental illnesses...[Watters] is on to something worth pondering." -- Time magazine, "In crisp journalistic style, Watters argues convincingly that what the American psychiatric industry exports is not so much drugs as diseases." --Mother Jones, "Ethan Watters has a truly original take on the way our country shapes the expression of mental illness around the globe. His is one of those books you can't stop thinking about or referring to in conversation, that permanently changes your perspective on beliefs you took for granted."-- Peggy Orenstein, author ofWaiting for Daisy, "A devastating account of America's psychological adventures abroad. The stories Watters tells will move you, surprise you, and occasionally infuriate you, and they will change the way you think about culture, human nature, and the mind." -- Paul Tough, author of Whatever it Takes, " Crazy Like Us is a blistering and truly original work of reporting and analysis, uncovering America's role in homogenizing how the world defines wellness and healing." -- Po Bronson, author of NurtureShock, "...in addition to the cultural flotsam that drives the rest of the world crazy, America is literally exporting its mental illnesses...[Watters] is on to something worth pondering." --Timemagazine, "I couldn't put it down.

Synopsis
"A blistering and truly original work of reporting and analysis, uncovering America's role in homogenizing how the world defines wellness and healing" (Po Bronson). In Crazy Like Us , Ethan Watters reveals that the most devastating consequence of the spread of American culture has not been our golden arches or our bomb craters but our bulldozing of the human psyche itself: We are in the process of homogenizing the way the world goes mad. It is well known that American culture is a dominant force at home and abroad; our exportation of everything from movies to junk food is a well-documented phenomenon. But is it possible America's most troubling impact on the globalizing world has yet to be accounted for? American-style depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and anorexia have begun to spread around the world like contagions, and the virus is us . Traveling from Hong Kong to Sri Lanka to Zanzibar to Japan, acclaimed journalist Ethan Watters witnesses firsthand how Western healers often steamroll indigenous expressions of mental health and madness and replace them with our own. In teaching the rest of the world to think like us, we have been homogenizing the way the world goes mad.
