I am preparing a presentation on WORRY. Can you suggest some good books on the subject?
(Other than "How to stop Worrying and Start Living" by Dale Carnagie. I have read this book many-a-times, and this is priceless!). |

with the first link, you need to navigate to the story, the second links directly to the article, the title is deceiving in the second link, the article is about how our brains are wired to mitigate risk and how we prioritize certain risks, for instance why we are extremely worried about dying in a plane crash but take no heed to the fact that's its much more likely to die in a car crash on the way to the airport. |

Never mind - trying to be funny, as in Why Worry? Having a weird morning. Thought I'd share it...

Are you separating Worry from it's sisters Anxiety and Stress? We don't talk much about worry as it has such a wimpy wishy washy set of associations. After all a tough CEO type would never worry, but he keeps a keg of Malox and a jar of Prozac in the corner office to deal with his stressful lifestyle and the anxiety about the big deal coming together. But worry? Not him.
There are tons of books on trying to get rid of stress and anxiety, and so you should expect some books soon on why stress and anxiety are good for you. A few weeks ago, right around tax time and the Boston bombing, I heard of some research locally that shows how some stress is good for you.
There are so few titles with worry in them the last one I can think of is "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" or Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry Be Happy" . In short we are so worried about being worried that we just shut it out, which results in acute anxiety. I think I'm beginning to stress out about this.
"Some scholars have suggested that we are all Warriors or Worriers. Those with fast-acting dopamine clearers are the Warriors, ready for threatening environments where maximum performance is required. Those with slow-acting dopamine clearers are the Worriers, capable of more complex planning. Over the course of evolution, both Warriors and Worriers were necessary for human tribes to survive." from a NYTimes article called "Why worry"
With any luck, and lots of good self help books, channeled thinking seminars, and plenty of pharmacological assistance, we can all stop worrying. And then we can all be warriors. No more long term moping about, worrying about the future, bright and happy and living in the momnet. And that scares the Bejezzus out of me.
