This book is still cutting edge even today
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This book is a fascinating read for the simple fact that it does not follow conventional standards, but instead looks at the brave in society to see if they really feel fear. I'm a psychologist specializing in the areas of fears and phobias, and I can safely say that the author of this book, Stanely Rachman, is renowned as being a guru psychologist in the area of fear. This book looks at fascinating areas like whether people are really fearless, do parachutists and soldiers feel fear, and how to manage fear in everyday life. It does border on more the academic line, though with that said Rachman writes in simple terms. If you're interested in the area of fear and want to know more about the topic, then this is a must read. Don't be put of by the publication date (1990), as a lot of it is still cutting edge today.
