Ever spent sleepless nights feeling fearful or lonely? Been anxious about money, family or partners? Worried about your sexuality, your body weight, or the size of your genitalia? Loved someone, but they drove you mad? Felt crippled by shyness, anger or unhappiness? Or perhaps you just enjoy the vicarious thrill of reading about other people's problems?

Other people's dilemmas have much to tell us about our own lives, and this collection of quandaries from journalist, broadcaster and Observer agony aunt Mariella Frostrup may not solve your problems but it will undoubtedly make you think, and certainly make you laugh.
