Executives: "Well-off people are just as afraid as people on the poverty line"
Emergency doctor and CDU politician Lisa Federle explains why high achievers work through their fears, why the country remains paralyzed – and what helps against fear-mongering policies.
Dr. Lisa Federle, a German emergency doctor, has written a book about anxiety, drawing from her experiences with patients. She notes that anxiety is a common but rarely discussed feeling, even in leadership circles, and can have destructive consequences if left unaddressed. Federle believes that anxiety is a natural warning signal, but it can be overcome by acknowledging and confronting it.
She argues that the current state of crisis, including the pandemic, war, and climate change, has contributed to a culture of fear in Germany.
