Overview
Thus begins Hollandās quest to renegotiate her inhibiting relationship with fear. In stirring, raw prose, she reveals what itās like to live in the clutches of paralyzing dread. And with remarkable courage, she tests the limits of what one can do to live less fearfullyāfrom engaging in daring adventure to cutting-edge research: She confronts her acrophobia by jumping out of an airplane, explores the lives of rare individuals who feel little or no fear, and meets with scientists working to eliminate phobias with a single pill.
Of course, one doesnāt have to go out of the way to face fear; by horrible coincidence, a series of freak accidents leaves Holland deeply shaken. Determined to stay the course, she seeks out a surprisingly effective treatment involving eye movementāto reckon with lingering trauma and anxiety to rid herself of intrusive memories and panics while driving.
Ultimately, Hollandās odyssey sheds light on universal questions: How do we feel fear, and why? Is fear necessary? Is it rooted in the body or the mind? And it brings her ever closer to knowing: Is there a better way to feel afraid? Finding the nerve to face down her fears, Holland not only shows us how to grapple with our own, but invites us to embrace them as a way to live happier and feel more alive.
