This is the first in a new series of shorter videos in which I give a "quick take" on some matter that I consider important to address, for at least some of my viewers, readers, listeners, followers, or students.

In this Quick Take, I address a common concern or worry that I've seen many times on the part of students or lifelong learners, feeling intimidated, worried, anxious, or having other negative emotions provoked by the idea of reading works of philosophy. Sometimes, this can interfere with a person feeling such emotions from even attempting to read philosophical texts. Examining this common issue, I discuss what sort of worries would-be readers express, provide some useful perspective about these concerns, give some pointers for dealing with this problem, and end with a "pep talk" for students and lifelong learners.
