A fun self-help book for fearful flyers. You are a fearful flyer. I was, too. In 2001, I had a flight almost redirected because I was screaming my head off at 30,000 feet. I overcame it, and so will you. The most annoying sentence to hear when you're afraid of flying is that "statistically, it is the safest way to travel." This book won't tell you that. It won't provide you with other illuminating and original information such as "you're more likely to be killed driving your car to the airport." It won't try to figure out if your mother dropping you from your crib is responsible for you not being able to step on a plane. And it won't give you a free pass to consume large amount of alcohol the night before your flight (good try, though). Instead, this book WILL: - Suggest 30 practical tips and many more small tricks to lower your fear before, during and after your flight. And maybe even get a hug from the Captain at the end of the flight. - Share real stories and real advice from people who went through it before you. Ever tried describing to your partner how the night before the flight feels? Just make her/him read this book. - Propose witty answers to the "very helpful people" who tell you that flying is safe. - If all fails, give you at least a good laugh, and awesome origami patterns to try out at the airport (see at the end of the book )
