 Do you think that Americans simply have too much time to think we're overthinking our entire lives and this makes us more prone to anxiety? I think it's not so much time to think as too many options. There's too many routes you can take. There are too many choices in the supermarket. There are too many jobs you can pursue or or hope to pursue in this particular economic climate. There are too many lovers that you can have. There's an overwhelming amount of possibility and within that freedom you become very anxious because there's no sense of certainty.
