Description:
Provides a broad and entertaining overview of fear from evolution, to modern day challenges, and how clinicians treat trauma, anxiety, and PTSD today.


About a third of the world population suffers from an anxiety disorder, and half of Americans have had at least one traumatic experience like rape, assault, shooting, or natural disasters. The news is full of stories about our dying planet, civil unrest, political fighting, and other anxiety-inducing subjects. On social media, digital tribes have lined up against each other and people worry they may get "canceled" for any number of perceived offenses. Fear and anxiety are with us everywhere we go.


Fear is one of the most deeply rooted biological mechanisms that has evolved over hundreds of millions of years in the brains and bodies of animals and humans with one key mission- to increase our chance of survival. Fear is deeply woven into our biology, culture, politics, and day to day life. We sometimes don't even know what we are afraid of. What we know for sure is that we are afraid too often.


But why are we so scared? How does fear work in our brains? Why does our body react the way it does when we are scared? What is the evolutionary purpose of fear? Why do we enjoy watching horror movies? How does the brain of a brave person work differently than others? How do we learn to be afraid, and how can we unlearn? Is fear good or bad for creativity? Can we use fear to our advantage? How is fear used to manipulate us?


In this book, a psychiatrist and neuroscientist answers these questions. It is a comprehensive review of fear and anxiety in most tangible aspects of t

Overpriced for a cheaply made shirt. The hems are glued down, not sewn.
Color: Grey/Black Square, Size: XX-Large, Color: Grey/Black Square, Size: XX-Large
I'm not sure how well this shirt is going to hold up, but I'll give them it's lightweight and cool! LOL There's almost nothing to it, it's so light. Mrs Aloha Friday is really crafty, but doesn't do much sewing. It's like she made this shirt with those tapes that you use to hold a hem temporarily, with an iron. LOL She's now got the idea she can make me shirts herself by just gluing them together! ;o) Neither of us is sure how well this will hold up to multiple washes. I'll edit my review if it falls apart. I think the price is nuts for what you get, at $27 as of this writing. There are literally holes in the shirt! I'd feel better recommending it at around $10. If you need something lightweight, yet still an actual shirt, here ya go. The problem is, I'll need to wear an undershirt under this or I'll just sweat right through it in the heat, and it will show the texture of everything it rests against, like the hairs on my chest. Or worse, they'll poke through the holes! Gah!! LOL So sorry for that imagery. I got the Grey/Black square.

Esabel.C Mens Mesh Polo Shirt Moisture Wicking Short Sleeve
Color: Lightblue Rhombus, Size: Large
This is the Esabel.C Mens Golf Polo Shirt. It's moisture wicking works out great. I wear it quite often golfing. Very comfortable and light weight. The color I got was the Lightblue Rhombus. They have 6 different ones to choose from. And the price is not bad either. As far as the size goes, I went by their chart, which was large, and it fits very well. I've had no problems with it. Like I said, I wear it very often.
