The Science of Fear
The Science of Fear: Why We Fear the Things We Shouldn't-- and Put Ourselves in Greater Danger | Dan Gardner
3 posts | 4 read | 12 to read
An analysis of the scientific causes of irrational fear offers insight into the brain's role in causing people to experience and react to fear, in a report that explains how heightened fear in the post-9/11 world is dangerously intersecting with biologically driven responses.

Could be an interesting read?
And it is a triple dose of #Fear with it being in the title, the topic, and with the spider on the cover (I imagine arachnophobia is probably one of the most common fears?)

This book has really changed the way I think about my day-to-day emotional reactions, perceptions, and assumptions. In short, we think we're rational, but not one of us truly is. Luckily, being aware of out basic mental processes and their weaknesses in the modern world actually reduces the impact of these evolutionary "glitches".
