"There has to be more widespread popularized information about fear. There’s not a person who could not identify with fear. yet we have a phobia about fear itself.

 

I don’t know if I told you previously about a film. I saw about 1980. A woman claimed she worked on a fear a year personally. The subject of this film was on her fear of heights. To conquer that she decided that she would parachute from an airplane. It is a very good documentary, and that it follows her through her anxieties and fears and trepidation in the process of ending up with this resolution. I did see a number of times, but I have no track of where it is now, but it was extraordinary to me then that here was a person who was focused on a fear a year. Facing her fears as an agent and not as a victim of them. Unfortunately, some folks add a fear a year rather than subtracting a fear a year.

 

To reach a larger audience a dummy book on fear has to be very non-academic as you are probably aware. But sometimes in dumbing things down, it is a lot more work if one is striving for accuracy and conveying a difficult message more simply."
