Book Beyond Anxiety

Wisdom to overcome existential worries and anxieties

Anxiety has surpassed depression as the leading mental health challenge worldwide, according to the World Health Organization. Because it is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon, dealing with anxiety does not allow for reductionism or simplistic approaches.

In this work, Davi Lago explains clearly and objectively what the main approaches to anxiety are and examines the three most important texts on the subject in the New Testament – ​​Matthew 6.24-34; Philippians 4.2-9; and 1 Peter 5.5-11. With fluent writing, full of practical guidelines and thought-provoking reflections, this book presents answers to questions such as:

• How to differentiate healthy worries from unhealthy worries?
• What are the symptoms and destructive effects of anxiety?
• How to deal with consumerism, toxic conversations and busy schedules?
• What are the practical guidelines and biblical promises related to overcoming anxiety?
