Summary

David Cain shares the source of our anxieties and worries and what to do about it, plus a little experiment you can try. Episode 744: When You Can't Stop Looking Ahead, Look Backwards by David Cain of Raptitude (Mental Health - Anxiety and Worry). David Cain is a writer and entrepreneur living in Winnipeg, Canada. On a particular boring day at his office job in 2009, he started Raptitude. His interest has always been human society and the internal human experience, and Raptitude became his megaphone for his thoughts about those things. It found an audience rather quickly and it’s been central to his life ever since. In 2013, he left his day job to write full time.
