Tomorrow: Age of Anxiety Future Salon

Sanjay Khanna who will present the New Age of Anxiety tomorrow at the Future Salon just came by my office and showed me some of his slides.

I am really looking forward to his talk and our interaction. It is a theme that has not been looked at enough yet. Where are we going with this ever faster change? Is there a limit to our ability to process that change? What happens when we reached that limit? What is the role of humans in society? ...  These are only a couple of questions that he will touch on. There is a lot of great content and questions. (We should make a two day seminar out of it :-)

Here comes the fear monger quote: "You can't afford to miss this Future Salon!"

Of course you can, but if some refreshments with current and future friends, good talk and mind expanding insights, lots of laughter and attentive audience to your own thoughts sounds like a great way to spend your Friday evening. The Future Salon is for you and swing by.

Social Anxiety is a potentially debilitating fear of social situations. It is generally considered to be the most common psychological problem, and encompasses a wide range of phobias and anxieties having to do with social situations. Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD), if left untreated, can degenerate into worse psychological issues, like agoraphobia or substance abuse, as people try to deal with their issues through avoiding them.
