Quit Your Worrying‪!‬

Worry, George Wharton James writes, once meant an animal seized by the throat. He sees that same savage grip in the anxious mind—and asks why people with reason let it hold them.

Writing in the early twentieth century, James turns to a restless Western world chasing wealth, status and comfort, and contrasts it with the greater content he finds in Eastern thought. His subject is the daily fret that, he argues, drains energy, poisons happiness and grips family, work and faith alike. Drawing on his own distress, he urges readers to distinguish what can be changed from what must be borne, and to replace anxious brooding with purposeful action and trust in God. Can an active life be lived without letting worry take it by the throat?
