Fearless Intelligence

Anxiety, stress, worry, apprehension, and nervousness are just different names for fear — indications of unawareness, ignorance, and confusion, whether dangerous or not. The antidote to fear is knowledge and understanding. This book, "Fearless Intelligence," shows readers how to develop self-awareness in calm, relaxed states, transforming fear, anger, and heartache into insight and understanding. When we ignore or deny our fear, it grows worse. But by relaxing, facing, and exploring our fear and heartache, it is redeemed to peace, love, and understanding. "The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek." — Joseph Campbell
