The Meaning of Anxiety

The Meaning of Anxiety is as relevant and illuminating now as when it was first published in 1950. Challenging the idea that mental health means living without anxiety, it explores anxiety's potential for self-realisation and explores ways to avoid its destructive aspects.

Description

The Meaning of Anxiety by Rollo May challenges the idea that "mental health is living without anxiety," believing it is essential to being human. He explores how it can relieve boredom, sharpen sensibilities, and produce the tension necessary to preserve human existence.

May sees a link extending from anxiety to intelligence, creativity, and originality, and guides the reader away from destructive ways to positive ways of dealing with anxiety. He convincingly proposes that anxiety can impel personal change, as it is only by confronting and coping with it that self-realisation can occur.
