{"product_id":"9781609250256","title":"Fearproof Your Life: How to Thrive in a World Addicted to Fear","description":"\u003ci\u003eDon't let fear rule your life.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    Throughout time, we have sought peace and safety by trying to out-guess the unknown. We have tried to prepare for the unexpected and the apparitions of our minds. In an age of 24-hour cable news, when we can stay glued to the latest terrorist attack or natural disaster, the next epidemic, and what the pundits tell us we should be afraid of, our efforts to control the unknown and keep ourselves safe have led to a collective as well as a personal sensation of fear. We have become addicted to fear. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    Joseph Bailey writes in \u003ci\u003eFearproof Your Life:\u003c\/i\u003e \"Fear locks us in an illusionary sand castle of protection with a false sense of security from demons, dangers, and all that we dread. Each day the tide of truth sweeps in and destroys our tentative hold on security. No matter how often the castle of illusory control is destroyed, the ego rebuilds it with fearful, vigilant thoughts. This cycle has all the trappings and symptoms of any addiction: denial, rationalization, projection, increased tolerance to the substance (in this case, fear), imbalance that seems normal, and increased harmful and fatal consequences that we minimize and blame on others.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    But we don't need to be adrenaline junkies. \u003ci\u003eFearproof Your Life\u003c\/i\u003e guides us through a process of how discovering who we truly are immunizes us from our own fears, as well as those of others. Bailey takes us through a process of knowing, listening to, and honoring our own unique True Self, of being willing to listen to our truth and act from it, without seeking approval, of being willing to forgive ourselves and others and take responsibility for what we create. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    Bailey is the co-author, with Richard Carlson, of the bestselling \u003ci\u003eSlowing Down to the Speed of Life\u003c\/i\u003e. In this book, he offers step-by-step ways to develop an immunity to fear and provides all the tools you need to live a fearless, fulfilled life.
