In Why We Worry, Roland Paulsen paints a broad picture of the cultural variations and historical evolution of anxiety. Through this lens, he invites readers to explore the paradox of how material wealth has enriched our lives in every aspect except one: our mental well-being.
This book offers empirically grounded insights into the sociological underpinnings of issues relating to worry. As such, it is suitable for undergraduate students in psychology, sociology, and medicine – and anyone who has ever been trapped in rumination.
Roland Paulsen is Associate Professor of Sociology at Lund University. His research focuses on medical sociology, cultural studies, and the sociology of work. The meaning of work, and also the meaninglessness of work, are the subjects of two of his books: Empty Labor: Idleness and Workplace Resistance (2014) and Return to Meaning: A Social Science with Something to Say (with Mats Alvesson and Yiannis Gabriel, 2017).
