The End of Fear by Bonney Schaub
Why are we afraid? Why do we dwell on worst-case scenarios, lie awake in anxiety's grip, and react to minor mishaps as though they threaten our very survival? In The End of Fear, Richard and Bonney Schaub explore the origin of fear down to its root and posit that it grows out of our innate love of life. They teach that fear is so influential because deep down we know that our life is unpredictable and that we are all vulnerable; we risk change and loss at every moment. No religion grants any exemption, and no amount of money or status can change this fact for us. Using examples from their lives and those of their patients, the Schaubs draw upon their 30 years of experience as psychotherapists to explore the common methods people turn to in order to cope with their basic vulnerability. After this exploration, the Schaubs lead us on a spiritual journey that teaches us to skillfully turn toward fear and transform it. Once we stop fleeing from or fighting fear and instead face it with compassion, we'll be free to realise and achieve our full potential for peace, joy and love.
'Life is troubleOnly death is not,' Zorba the Greek reminded us, and part of that trouble is fear. Some scientists credit fear with our earliest survival as humans, for fear made us more vigilant and therefore more likely to survive and reproduce. But fear can also smother, oppress, and overwhelm us. The Schaubs have written a masterpiece for reducing fear and finding balance in one's life- one of the most elegant, clearest, and effective treatises available.

Into the ever-expanding dialogue about dealing with the fear that is the universal human condition, the Schaubs have gently dropped a startling gem: a warm, personal guide to a new way of being in the world. Their message is one of support and wisdom, presented with such honesty and modesty that the reader is well advised to go back to their understanding counsel again and again. If you thought one small book could not change your life, read The End of Fear . . . and be glad.

Through Taoist ways of being, 'fear' can only be viewed as half of the yin/yang Tai Ji whole. This book is a deeply affecting, personal journey of the authors' accounts of their transcendence from this human condition. In order to arrive at a balance in life of potential peace and harmony, and to fulfill the wish for love and joy in daily living, we must learn to embrace fear as a moving spiritual path, and see the danger as opportunity in perpetual human growth. The End of Fear is the beginning of wisdom, to guide us in the real world we live in.

The End of Fear is a compelling yet peaceful read that distills some very complex issues down to core points that in turn expand to bring understanding to a universal struggle that all humans face.
