I wrote this book out of my deep annoyance at the “colonization” of fear in our lives. In fact, books written out of irritation tend to be dialectical, and this book will be no exception. However, it can be considered an attack on the practical treatment of all phenomena related to fear. The culture of fear bears a contradictory nature, as it has emerged at a time when we historically live in greater safety than ever before. Perhaps my strongest argument against the culture of fear is the reality that it crushes our freedom.
