In this episode of In Search of Wisdom, my guest is Samir Chopra, author of the new book Anxiety: A Philosophical Guide. Samir is a philosophical counselor and professor emeritus of Philosophy at Brooklyn College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. In the conversation, we discuss the meaning of anxiety and how it can help us learn more about ourselves and the world around us. You can learn more about Samir’s work at Samirchopra.com.
Key Takeaways
Philosophy can provide comfort and insight in dealing with personal challenges and emotions like anxiety.
Anxiety can be a teacher, providing self-knowledge and insight into our values and priorities.
Medicating anxiety can be a complex issue, as it may suppress opportunities for self-discovery and growth.
Wisdom is an ongoing process of acquiring a vision of our place in the world and understanding the unalterable aspects of existence.
