- Summary:
- Michele Klein brings her training in psychology and love of all things Jewish to the notion of worry--the normal, everyday angst that we all feel to varying degrees. She explores the ways in which Jews have experienced, expressed, and coped with it since biblical times right up to the post-9/11 present. Klein explains that our Jewish tradition can teach us about psychological strength, creative thinking, and peace of mind. Further, she shows how Jewish wisdom and centuries-old, fine-honed coping skills--including prayer, wisdom from the Sages, meditation, mysticism and dream interpretation, music, and humor--can give us the courage to face a world that often appears uncertain and threatening.
