I have had a few very enthusiastic people of late, especially young people in undergrad studies of philosophy and psychology, for example, who want a set of readings of my work for their studies. They are also interested in potential future development of fearology, academically, and professionally. So, I have sent them seven core papers I've published since 1995 when I began the more serious scholarly-type writing on the topic of fear ('fear') and fearlessness. Note, these "Cornerstone Publications" are not necessarily my best works, as I have written hundreds of papers, published and non-published, many on the topic of "fearology" specifically and they are not among these seven works. See "Google Scholar" under "R. Michael Fisher" and/or see my CV and/or email me if you want more papers I'd recommend on fearology; and, of course, see my two books: The World's Fearlessness Teachings (2010) and The Philosophy of Fearism: A First East-West Dialogue (co-authored with Desh Subba, 2016). r.michaelfisher52 [at] gmail.com
Now, I realize I ought to make these seven papers available to all, as a quick way to tune-in to my unique approach to the topic and how best to solve the global Fear Problem. And, if you are interested to watch the happenings and contribute to the Fearology Training Institute, start by reading my 2 blogs on the possibilities...
Okay, now for the RMF Cornerstone Publications, mostly of my early writing and one very recent work (note: on the Forum, I have a full CV with all my publications listed):

NOTE: I would love to have people read one or more, and make comments on them, send them to me, and/or post on the FM ning for discussion. Feel free to also do this elsewhere on the Internet, as well feel free to send them out to other places and people you think might be interested. They are copyrighted but for educational purposes I give you permission to share them and just make sure they are cited properly as to their source if you take "excerpts" out and post that or include it in a publication. Thanks.
