David A. Robertson ~ How I Learned to Live with Anxiety
Friday, 1 May, 2026
David A. Robertson, two‑time Governor General’s Literary Award winner and celebrated author, speaker, and advocate, joins Banyen Books for a deeply personal and illuminating conversation on mental health, healing, and hope. In All the Little Monsters: How I Learned to Live with Anxiety he explores the struggles and small victories of living with chronic anxiety, panic attacks, and depression, sharing hard‑earned wisdom to help others feel less alone. With warmth, humour, and insight, he shows how mental illness has shaped his life as a father, partner, and writer, and how he keeps going through therapy, medication, community, and self‑reflection—reminding listeners that healing isn’t about being cured, but about learning to live with care, courage, and hope. Robertson is a member of Norway House Cree Nation and was honoured in 2023 with a Doctor of Letters from the University of Manitoba, among other distinctions.
