But, progress has shown that no matter how many dangers we neutralize, new ones emerge. Why? Because our level of fear remains constant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFear\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e in contemporary society.\u003c\/b\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFear\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e not.\u003c\/b\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBut fear not―inside, you’ll learn about:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe fear of pain and the fear of the unknown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow fear has driven progress in the West\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe price paid to eradicate fear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRead books like \u003cem\u003eFear\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Culture of Fear\u003c\/em\u003e, or \u003cem\u003eThe Science of Fear\u003c\/em\u003e?
