Are you alive? Great! You’ll love this newsletter.

Welcome to the human paradox: we’re stressed about living and anxious about dying. It’s a bit of a mess, being alive.

But there’s a straight-forward trick to dealing with this cosmic joke.

How? Get cozy with three terrible companions: fear, anxiety, and stress. Oh, and embrace your expiration date.

If this sounds hard, don’t dismay. You're not on this journey alone. Every two weeks, YANGTD delivers new perspectives on fear, anxiety, and stress. Flip your mental switch from "not dying" to "actually living” through art, stories, tools, and exercises.

The problem with living in fear is that you don’t actually get to live. Don’t give fear one more second of your precious life.
