Future Tense: Why Anxiety Is Good for You (Even Though It Feels Bad)
Tracy Dennis-Tiwary (Psychology)

We are taught that anxiety is dangerous and damaging, and that the solution to its pain is to eradicate it like we do any disease—prevent it, avoid it, and stamp it out at all costs. In this radical reinterpretation, the author argues that anxiety is an evolved advantage that protects us and strengthens our creative and productive powers.
