Episode description
Anxiety is the crown jewel of human evolution.
That’s the professional opinion of neuroscience professor and clinical psychologist Dr. Tracy Dennis-Tiwary, who is driving a paradigm shift in how we understand anxiety. The emotion isn’t a sickness or a flaw in human design – it’s an evolved advantage that protects us and strengthens our creative and productive powers.
So even though anxiety doesn’t feel good…it can be good to feel anxious.
This is… A Bit of Optimism.
