The Value of Intangible Capital

The Intelligence of Worry
Psychoanalyst, Norman Doidge, on the connection between intelligence and worry.
"All of us have worries. We worry because we are intelligent beings. Intelligence predicts, that is its essence; the same intelligence that allows us to plan, hope, imagine, and hypothesize also allows us to worry and anticipate negative outcomes."
