Are we too worried about living to enjoy ourselves?

The One Show Team | 15:58 UK time, Thursday, 30 July 2009

On tonight's show Mitch Benn asks whether we are living in dangerous times or if our fears, hyped by the media, are getting the better of us.

There are daily headlines about the threat to our safety from swine flu, terrorists, crime, sunlight, toxins in our food and much more.

But Daniel Freeman Clinical Psychologist at King's College suggests to Mitch that we've lost perspective and are living in fear of events that are in reality unlikely to happen.

As Mitch reflects, the fact is that in general we live longer, eat better, exercise more, smoke less and die less frequently from diseases that used to be automatic killers.

So, share your stories here, are we too worried about living to enjoy ourselves? Are we too concerned with our health and safety to live life to the full?
