Overview
A TIME top 100 must read book of 2020--a spellbinding dive into paralyzing fear that Rolling Stone says "could not be timelier" with a new afterword to this paperback edition
Since childhood, Eva Holland has been gripped by two debilitating phobias: fear of losing her mother and fear of heights. When the worst comes to pass with her mother's sudden death in 2015, followed by an ice-climbing expedition that ends with Holland panicky and in tears, a new resolve kicks in: Fear may define her past, but it won't decide her future.
Through poignant storytelling, eye-opening science journalism, and courageous, boots-off-the-ground investigation, Holland peels back the layers of paralyzing trauma and anxiety to ask: Is fear necessary? Is it rooted in the body or the mind? And further: Is there a better way to feel afraid? By grappling with--even embracing--the things she most deeply dreads, Holland aspires to give us all the nerve to face down the phobias that limit our lives.
