Overcoming FEAR

Fear is without doubt among the strongest and most influential emotional responses we have, and it may act as both a protective and destructive force depending upon the situation.

Obviously, fear may help us avoid grievous situations, triggering the fight or flight reaction when we feel threatened. Regrettably, this same reaction may likewise be triggered when no real threat exists. We merely find ourselves feeling overwhelmed and anxious even once we know logically that no hurt will come upon us.

For a lot of us, fear may become a serious hindrance for progress, preventing us from getting a better job, meeting life partners, seeking medical aid, or even from venturing outside our houses in severe cases.

This book doesn’t follow “conventional wisdom” of overcoming fear. Most of so-called conventional wisdom by psychiatrists and psychologists is mere theory since it’s not based on real experience.

First, the notion that FEAR (False Evidence Appearing Real) can be cured, eliminated, or healed is wrong. Fear is not a condition. It is a helpful emotion that can sometimes go too far.
