The timeless classic by the distinguished author of Love and Will will resonate today with a new generation. When this important work was originally published in 1950—the first book in this country on anxiety—it was hailed as a work ahead of its time. Still just as relevant and illuminating, The Meaning of Anxiety challenges the idea that mental health means living without anxiety, and explores anxiety"s potential for self-realization as well as exploring ways to avoid its destructive aspects.
