Anxiety
Fear is like a neon sign telling us that danger is imminent. The resulting anxiety is healthy, as long as its intensity is proportionate to the seriousness of the situation. Normal anxiety fades when the threat ceases. However, if we become anxious and overly concerned without the presence of real danger, our state can be described as neurosis.
This book from the 180 Degrees series deals with the causes and characteristics of neurotic anxiety and its treatment. It also talks about the existential ‘angst’ we as humans can suffer from as we look for meaning and purpose. In the end the author points us to the divine solution to these issues.
