“A fast, nervous planet is creating fast and nervous lives,” Tsitsipas writes in the video description.

“We are more connected, yet feel more alone. Unlike my smartphone, there is no ‘slide to power off’ function for anxiety. But the question remains, how do we feel happy when we are encouraged to be anxious?”
