Among the vast literature on anxiety, Samir Chopra's book occupies a special place. Recognizing the urgency of the problem in the modern world and the validity of calling our century the age of anxiety, Chopra convincingly demonstrates that anxiety is an integral part of our nature, and not to experience it would be simply unnatural. Many philosophers, including Buddha, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Freud, and Heidegger, viewed anxiety as an inevitable human response to existence: to exist is to experience anxiety. Drawing on social theories and realities, the author explores how material factors exacerbate anxiety and emphasizes that neither wealth, nor power, nor the latest advances can eliminate it. Combining a touching, frank account of his own experience with scientific knowledge, the scholar demonstrates how a philosophical understanding of anxiety helps us come to terms with it, learn to live with it, and find an ally in it.
