The Fear Paradox : How Our Obsession with Feeling Secure Imprisons Our Minds and Shapes Our Lives

The author, an accomplished clinical psychologist and scholar of neuroscience lays out how this drive created by thousands of years of evolutionary biology-which evolved to help protect us and our species -has become the very thing that now holds us back on an individual level, a national level and as a species. One only needs to look at the current administration to see this principle in action. Changes in technology and society may allow us to run from danger, but new dangers emerge, like super viruses. This is an insightful and information book that challenges us to face our valuarablities so that we can be better and wiser."Eradication of the dark" and "Curating the light". This plays into what the "fear paradox" is all about, you must read this book! Highly recommended!

This book is a perfect example of what has been mentioned by Manson in The subtle art of not giving a f*ck- a loop of hell. The feeling of what we call fear itself traps ourself and make we gave much more fear afterwards. An endless fear. These book is also explain fear in much more details compared to other books that I read before:
1)The fear of pain and the fear of the unknown
2)How fear has driven progress in the West
3)The price paid to eradicate fear

A best book to read for us to progress further. Highly recommended!
