Willkommen Angst

Fear is better than its reputation!

• On the positive handling of fear

• The business of fear and how we are manipulated by it

When it comes to fear, the focus is usually on how to get rid of it as quickly as possible. Constanze Dennig takes a different approach in her new book: The specialist in neurology and psychiatry explains that fear can also have positive aspects - if one understands it and knows how to use it. Through concrete examples, she illustrates how fear arises in the brain, the difference between "normal" and pathological fear, which systems in our modern society exploit and fuel it - and how to counteract this. For what seems like a negative feeling is, in truth, also a powerful driver for development, change, and self-acceptance. "What one has learned to understand, one no longer fears." (Marie Curie).
