ABSTRACT
Anxiety seems to be the dominant fact—and is threatening to become the dominant cliche—of modern life. It shouts in the headlines, laughs nervously at cocktail parties, nags from advertisements, speaks suavely in the boardroom, whines from the stage, clatters from the Wail Street ticker, jokes with fake youthfulness on the golf course and whispers in privacy each day before the shaving mirror and the dressing table.
