This chapter explores how the perception and acceptance of anxiety have evolved over time, from limited understanding and stigma to increased awareness. It delves into the unintended consequences of societal pressure to constantly achieve and be happy, emphasizing the importance of accepting distress as a normal part of life and building resilience.

Dr David Rosmarin is an Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School and the founder of the Centre for Anxiety.
