On the Synergy Connection podcast, Lucy Forsting and I take a therapeutic perspective on the anxiety we are all experiencing as we look at the financial, political, and health concerns of the world.
David Leonhardt, in an article for the New York Times (Sept. 17, 2022), says the views of the nation are no longer being considered for the “good of the whole”. This would appear to be true throughout the world, with no answers on the horizon. This is creating a storm of increasing anxiety for people of all ages.
“These sharp disagreements have led many Americans to doubt the country’s system of government. In a recent poll by Quinnipiac University, 69 percent of Democrats and 69 percent of Republicans said that democracy was ‘in danger of collapse.’”
