In our modern world, people in developed countries tend to have worries about everything. Our information-age caused that we have probably more information available than useful and we do not have the time to think about the value of those and do not interpret them properly.The author scans different topics for worries from relationships, love, money and health to international problems and spirituality. It will make you good just to go through it and let yourself soaked in the wisdom. The book contains very sympathetic, deep thoughts about our life in the modern society where although our worries change, they do not diminish. And, especially, relationships are burdened with worries as they are the most affected area by the modern way of living. The message of the book is: by looking at worries and deeply thinking about their roots, we can arrive at much better understanding our environment, relationships and the world itself - and thus eliminating the worries.As a lot of self-help books, this one, too, directs our focus to ourselves. "We are often the primary cause of our anxiety, simply because of the habits to which we submit ourselves." "By thinking and acting as if we have control will in fact give us more control."I recommend this book to everyone who has a difficult time and is confused about things or feelings - and I suppose there will be many readers who nowadays qualify. It is well written, wise, and much cheaper and may prove to be more useful than a shrink.
