About This Book

The author examines worry as a needless, self-destructive mental occupation, tracing its causes, varieties, and effects on health, relationships, ambition, and religion. Drawing on personal experience of collapse and recovery, he surveys specific anxieties—parental, marital, social, anticipatory, jealous—and contrasts worry with indifference, hobbies, and wholesome pursuits. The work blends practical counsel and moral reflection, urging disciplined mental substitution, deliberate diversion to constructive activities, and cultivation of uplifting thoughts as remedies, while explaining how worry harms the individual and those around them.
