CHAPTER

Embracing Anxiety and Balancing Opposites

In this chapter, they discuss the importance of embracing anxiety and the concept of balancing opposites in life. They talk about how humans tend to prefer simplicity and binary thinking when it comes to good and evil, but it's necessary to acknowledge that life is messy and complicated.
