“An Easy Read and Excellent Book!” Stanley Popovich defines the different types of fear for the reader and helps the reader decide how he or she will handle the emotion. One thing is for sure.

I fully recommend this book for those who want to get out of the “harboring-an-unhealthy-balance-of-emotions” business and live a life of freedom from unhealthy fear.
