Many people have a fear or phobia of something. Some have a fear of flying, or spiders.
But, most people don't understand complexies that drive our fear. In the center of the
brain there is an almond shaped organ known as the amygdala. This is the part of the brain
that provides powerful emotions. This fear is hard wired into our brains.
Recently a prominent fear researcher has written about the science of fear in his landmark
book called, "The Emotion Brain". He begins with the tragedy of 9/11,and points out that more
common & deadly tragedies are overlooked because they aren't as new or darkly glamorous.
For example, he mentions about terrorist attacks in the last century. Fewer than twenty attacks
from terrorism has caused more that 100 people to be killed. However, if you compared those
numbers with thosed killed by diabetes,or heart diease then its no comparison. This is similar
to what I write on the first page of my website. More people are killed from medical malpractice
then aircraft accidents. So there's nothing to fear but fear it's self.
