What are we afraid of and what can we do about it? How are we to find the courage to live, and live well despite the constant threat of fear?

Fear - of change, of intimacy, of loss, of the unknown - has become a corrosive influence in modern life, eroding our ability to think clearly. Exploited for power by politicians and for money by the media, it has become embedded in the way we think about our lives. Overcoming fear, says Gordon Livingston, constitutes the most difficuly struggle we face

Bestselling author Dr Gordon Livingston MD brings his usual wisdom to the subjects of fear and courage. We live in a time when so many fears, fear of terrorism, war, disease, are all magnified, it seems, by media and the internet.

As a psychiatrist, Livingston knows how reliant many are on pharmaceutical remedies to alleviate anxiety. While these may be effective, he has recently found himself increasingly prescribing human virtues like courage, which is integral to his thirty individual truths which are explored as the tools to overcome our fears on every level, in order to free up our lives.
