    Bestselling author Harriet Lerner is at her provocative best in this examination of fear as the key motivating force in our lives. 
     Often unrecognised, fear and shame drive our choices and attitudes in ways that most of us never figure out. As Lerner explains, fear is not an amorphous unknown to be transcended or overcome but an emotion to be recognized, explored, decoded and embraced. Once we befriend fear, it can actually help us achieve calm, clarity and fundamental peace. 
     Lerner teaches us the best ways to deal with fear: to expect, allow, and accept its presence in our lives, to mindfully observe and attend to how it feels in our bodies and, ultimately to own it. We can become experts on our personal triggers of anxiety, learning when fear signals real danger and when it's best to plough through it because it comes with the territory of making necessary changes. The very worst thing we can do in the face of fear is to run from it or try to avoid it. Fear is not something to be conquered or eliminated––or even tackled, for that matter. Instead, we need to pay close attention to the message it is trying to convey. 
     Using her wonderfully rich and inviting therapeutic voice along with personal memories and examples drawn from her practice, Lerner gives fear its due. We needn't let anxiety, fear, and shame silence our authentic voice, close our hearts to the different voices of others, or stop us from acting with dignity, integrity and brio. We need to harness fear and put it in service to our best selves.

    ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
    "Stranger in a Strange Land" by Robert A. Heinlein tells the story of Valentine Michael Smith, a human raised by Martians, who arrives on Earth and must navigate its strange customs and social structures. The novel explores themes of cultural clash as Smith's Martian upbringing provides him with a unique perspective, often leading him to question and challenge human norms. The book critiques established institutions such as government, media, and religion, portraying them as often manipulative and self-serving. The narrative also delves into the power of language to shape thought and the importance of personal responsibility, with Smith’s experiences revealing both the beauty and the absurdity of the human world.
