Change and Anxiety – Robert G. Kegan

„That 'change makes us uncomfortable' is now one of the most widely promoted, widely accepted, and under-considered half-truths around. [I]t is not change by itself that makes us uncomfortable; it is not even change that involves taking on something very difficult. Rather, it is change that leaves us feeling defenseless before the dangers we 'know' to be present that causes us anxiety.“

Robert G. KeganRobert G. Kegan explains that anxiety is not caused by change itself but by the feeling of defenselessness before known dangers.
