An Evening About Anxiety

We live in uncertain times. But what effect does anxiety have on us physically, mentally, and spiritually? What happens in our brains when we feel anxious? How has mankind historically handled anxiety? And how does the secular Swede deal with anxiety in the absence of a belief in God?
