◆A Guidebook for People Who Worry Too Much= In the flood of information, worries also overflow. This book helps distinguish what problems are truly worth worrying about and what are not. It assigns a 'worry index' after thorough scientific review on a wide range of topics, from a commonly consumed cup of coffee to asteroid collisions. The criteria for the worry index are prevention possibility, likelihood of occurrence, and the scale of potential harm. It provides worry indices for 58 concerns across seven fields: food, medicine, environment, chemicals, animals, travel, and others.
