Performance anxiety Conclusion Annex A: List of primary self-help titles used for analysisReviewsLife is a struggle, but human life is more of a struggle because in addition to material hardship is the human capacity to anticipate a future in which such afflictions may intensify. This is the curse of anxiety. The pace and complexity of late modern society, and the relative isolation of the individual within it, generates a plethora of anxiety types which Valerie de Courville Nicol's new book identifies and outlines for the reader. Anxiety in Middle-class America: Sociology of Emotional Insecurity in Late Modernity achieves a level of analysis and a broadness of apprehension that is simply breathtaking. In this work Professor Nicol not only advances our understanding of anxiety, she comprehensively explores late modernity, and the power of sociology.
