If the story of human evolution were told a thousand years from now, the timeline might read: the Stone Age, the Iron Age, the Industrial Age, the Information Age—and then, the Anxious Age. 

We are living through it now. 

Our outer world has never felt more unstable. Work, relationships, social media, technology, markets, politics and the climate all seem to change faster than we can adjust. But the deeper crisis is within. We are distracted, overstimulated, lonely, burnt-out, emotionally reactive and unable to sit with our own thoughts. 

In Gita for the Anxious Age, Rasik Raman Das—monk, mindset coach and IIT Bombay alumnus—turns to the Bhagavad Gita as a timeless atlas for modern emotional life. On the battlefield of Kurukshetra, Arjuna faced a world completely outside his control. His real battle, however, began inside: fear, confusion, grief, paralysis and the desire to escape. Krishna did not change the battlefield; he transformed Arjuna’s emotions. 

This book brings that wisdom into the realities of our time.
