Rent The Fear Problem: How Technology and Culture have Hijacked our Minds and Lives

Synopsis

FEAR: our natural internal response to perceived threats that encourages us to run when we need to, light if we have to, or freeze. In the U.S. and other more Westernized countries in the world, it seems clear that we have been overrun by fear, evidenced by political fighting, military conflict and even problems caused by drugs such as the, opioid epidemic. Many countries are in a state of constant divide, warring over politics, religion, and wealth inequality. These divisive states, as well as many other types of conflict, exist because, as I argue, we have never learned how to properly understand or deal with our fear response. The Fear Problem takes an in-depth look at how we have arrived at this seemingly endless conflict with each other, examines the psychological and biological nature at the root of our fear response, and discusses potential solutions that can bring us back together to function as a healthy and integrated community.
