Fear in Contemporary Society and its Consequences "A delightfully
fearless and deeply sensitive examination of that most primal and
formative human experience." Alan Burdick, author of Why Time
Flies: A Mostly Scientific Investigation #1 New Release in
Evolutionary Psychology and Buddhism For anyone suffering from
global pandemic anxiety caused by the new coronavirus, comes an
exploration of one of the most powerful and primitive human
emotions. A history and culture of fear. Over the last five hundred
years, life for the average human being has changed dramatically
plagues no longer routinely wipe out entire families, and we no
longer empty our chamber pots into the street. But, progress has
shown that no matter how many dangers we neutralize, new ones
emerge. Why? Because our level of fear remains constant. Fear in
contemporary society. For years, Dr. Frank Faranda studied a state
of fearfulness in his patients an evolutionary state that
relentlessly drove them toward avoidance, alienation,
hypercriticism, hyper-control, and eventually, depression and
anxiety. He began to wonder what they were afraid of, and how
embedded these fears might be in contemporary society. This book
aims to break us free from what he found. Fear not. Faranda's Fear
Paradox is simple even though fear has a prime directive to keep us
safe and comfortable, it has grown into the single greatest threat
to humanity and collective survival. As a consequence, fear is
embedded in our culture, creating new dangers and inciting
isolation. With rising anxiety levels, now is the time to shine a
light on our deepest fears and examine the society that fear is
creating. But fear not inside, you'll learn about: The fear of pain
and the fear of the unknown How fear has driven progress in the
West The price paid to eradicate fear Read books like Fear, The
Culture of Fear, or The Science of Fear? Then The Fear Paradox is
your next read. Come on, what are you afraid of?
