Executives: "Well-off people are just as afraid as people on the poverty line"

Notärztin Lisa Federle has written a book about anxiety, drawing from her experiences in her medical practice. The book also offers a diagnosis of contemporary society in Germany. Federle, who has written a previous book about bureaucracy in the country, explores how anxiety affects individuals and society, particularly how it can be a hindrance to progress.

She argues that anxiety is often not discussed in leadership circles, but can have destructive consequences if left unaddressed. Federle proposes ideas for overcoming anxiety and its effects on individuals and society.
