A CONVERSATION ON EXISTENTIAL ANXIETY 

I am pleased to share with you my recent conversation on a topic that haunts many of us: anxiety. 

Today, we dive into the connection between philosophy and anxiety with Dr. David Rondel, a philosophy professor and author of "A Danger, Which We Do Not Know: A Philosophical Journey into Anxiety." 

In his work, Dr. Rondel explores his journey through anxiety. From the wisdom of thinkers like Kierkegaard and William James to the challenges of modern anxieties like eco-anxiety and social media stress, Dr. Rondel shows us how embracing anxiety can lead to personal growth and a greater understanding of ourselves.

I would be thrilled for you to join this poignant and perennially relevant discussion!
