"""Readers will appreciate Chopra’s lucid explanations and refreshing assertion that anxiety is an inherent part of being human that doesn’t necessarily need fixing. . . . This carefully considered assessment of a 'universal, perennial human condition' provides plenty of food for thought."" * Publishers Weekly * ""Chopra has composed a graceful account of the intrinsic relationship between philosophy and anxiety—and how it compels us to question the very meaning of our existence. The aim of this unique book is not to calm our inner seas, but to provide tools for reinterpreting our relation to the anxiety that drives us to the clinic and the medicine cabinet. Chopra has hit the bull’s eye.""---Gordon Marino, LitHub ""Chopra is right to want to normalize the anxiety that people really do feel, saying that it is wrong to think that mental health consists in being anxiety-free. His basic therapeutic advice—not to push anxiety away but “to see what it ‘points to’ ”—is also spot-on . . . a good primer on the major philosophers of anxiety""---Julian Baggini, Wall Street Journal"
