Review of 'The concept of anxiety' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

It is well written, but not well argued. There is something there-even maybe something profound-but it remains just out of sight throughout the whole book, for you are always too caught up in endless logical semantics of Christian mythology to ever really get a good look at anything meaningful.
The only concrete advice most people seem to be able to attain from this book is that anxiety should not be looked at as something that needs to be cured-done away with-but something that should be appreciated, and most importantly, something that is omnipresent in the most spirited of people, for it pushes us to do better and ultimately achieve the great heights of being.
This perspective, by itself, is definitely insightful, but again, it is a small piece of rather a dense book that I do no think justifies its existence at all.
