In FUTURE TENSE Tracy Dennis-Tiwary, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Hunter College (the City University of New York), describes "Why Anxiety Is Good for You (Even Though It Feels Bad)." She argues for "three fundamental principles:" listen to and be curious about anxiety since it provides information about the future; let it go if it is not useful; and, if it is, then act upon it. That sounds very basic, but Dennis-Tiwary is encouraging her readers to view anxiety in a new light, less as a danger and more as an embodiment of hope. She stresses that anxiety – like all emotions – "will inevitably pass." In the meantime, she refers to research about "the best ways of letting go: cultivate experiences that slow you down and immerse you in the present" with examples like taking a walk or reaching out to a friend. Dennis-Tiwary writes in a thoughtful, compassionate manner, sharing both her own personal experiences and scientific research; notes comprise about ten percent of this useful text.
