The Untroubled Mind Book

100 years did not fundamentally change our views on worry and how to obtain a peace of mind. Some truths are absolute like the one that worrying about worrying cannot solve your worrying. You cannot think yourself out of anxiety, in fact the harder you try to outthink your worrying the more persistent it will be and the more lasting the negative effects of it. Lightheartedness and humour are sometimes more important for our survival than we think. This is a book about the humble beginnings of a science called psychology and psychiatry. Written at a time when Freud and his ideas were fresh and new. The writer is a doctor who foresaw that sometimes it is our spirit that is sick and it makes our bodies sick too. He articulated his views very clearly and profoundly. A very nice reading.
