Stefan G. Hofmann on fear and how to handle it

In an interview with Euronews, Stefan G. Hofmann from Phillips-Universität Marburg talks about fear and how to handle it.

Hofmann explains that the core of most fears is the feeling of losing control over the future. He advises focusing on concrete actions instead of abstract worries, emphasizing that fear is a natural and even useful emotion when it leads to reflection and positive change. Social connection, perspective, and focusing on what can be influenced are, he argues, key to managing both personal and collective anxieties.
