Synopsis

We are driven by fear to reach ever more extreme levels of comfort and safety, but in doing so, we embed fear into our culture, create new sorts of dangers, isolate ourselves from one another, and distance ourselves from the very sources of our own imaginative vitality. This book aims to break us free from this trap of our own making
