What are some of the most common underlying issues that cause chronic stress? And what can we do about them?

Can we really “manage” stress? What are some things people turn to in their attempts to “manage” stress that don’t work well, in your opinion.

Anxiety:

You label anxiety as “nervous energy” in your book Nervous Energy, saying that anxiety can actually be a source of stimulation, productivity, and fulfillment. I love this positive reframe! Can you elaborate on that?

How are stress and anxiety related? How are they different?

What are some of the most common misconceptions about anxiety?

Are we really more anxious these days than people used to be? If so, why?

When does anxiety become a problem?
