1999-05-19 A very interesting plunge into humanity's dark side.

The author writes with supreme knowledge on the subject of fear, it's causes, it's origins, it's nature. Biologically and emotionally, he takes us step by step through this sordid emotion, leaving us with a better understanding of our nature. Though a bit too technical at times for the average reader, still an excellent study and an emotional journey through our darkest side. I was anticipating a bit more advice on how to overcome fears, however, and would have preferred more discussion in that area. I recommend this book for anyone interested in human emotion.
