Features: If you don’t want fear to control you, you must learn to control fear! Only by controlling fear can you remain rational when it strikes, rather than being led astray by subconscious avoidance. If you think fear is too distant from daily life, you couldn’t be more wrong. Though few of us encounter supernatural phenomena, serial killers, or prehistoric monsters, fear still lingers around us. When we cross streets filled with traffic, when we speak in front of hundreds of eyes, when we meet our beloveds in mutual gaze, when we lie on a hospital bed awaiting surgery, when we face our superiors’ reprimands, when we confront colleagues’ envy, or when long-time friends suddenly reveal unfamiliar faces—fear always haunts us like a ghost destined to torment us for life. Have you ever considered taking the initiative to master fear? If so, this book is just for you—learning to control fear can begin with watching horror movies.
