Worry, the great American disease: Jordan diagnoses it in one of these crisp essays and prescribes self-control as the cure. The red tape of duty, syndicating our sorrows, the greatness of simplicity, the revelations of reserve power. Epigram-dense pages from a master of the short moral essay. Crown yourself; the kingship is self-control.
