Not to Worry: Jewish Wisdom and Folklore

What Jewish history and wisdom teach us about coping with worry. Michele Klein brings her training in psychology to the notion of worry – the normal, everyday angst that we all feel to varying degrees. She explores the ways in which Jews have experienced, expressed, and coped with it since biblical times, and right up to the post-9/11 present. The book addresses such questions as What is worry? Why, when and how do all of us do it? Is it a Jewish thing? Is it avoidable, and is it all bad? How can we turn our tendency to worry into a positive force in our lives?
