Whether we are trying to understand the psychological causes of crises in politics, economics, entrepreneurship, professional or domestic troubles, whether we want to delve into the essence of modern fine art, poetry, philosophy, religion - everywhere we are faced with the problem of anxiety. Anxiety is omnipresent. This is the challenge that life throws at us. In the book of the outstanding American psychotherapist Rollo May, the phenomenon of anxiety is examined from different positions - from historical, philosophical, theoretical and clinical points of view. But his main goal was to think about what anxiety means in a person’s life and how it can be used constructively. The book is aimed not only at the specialist reader. It is accessible to the student, social scientist, or general reader who wants to understand the psychological problems of modern man. In fact, this book is addressed to the reader who himself feels the tension and anxiety in our lives and asks himself what it means, where anxiety comes from and what to do about it.
