Do you know, dear reader, the source of your fear? When are you afraid? Why are you afraid? Do you know that fear is a source of your protection? Do you know that fear is your weakness?
The late pioneering philosopher and psychologist Ahmed Fouad Al-Ahwani tells us in this unique book about fear, this fear that protects us as human beings from the dangers surrounding us from the beginning of creation until the present day, but for many people it turns into the danger itself.
Professor Dr. Al-Ahwani, a scholar of the secrets of the human psyche, sets clear boundaries between one fear and another. It guides us on how to distinguish between fear and the disease of fear, that is, the disease of anxiety that has become a disease of the times.
For example, but not limited to, we learn in this book about natural fear, its sources and symptoms, fear and neurological diseases and their treatment, types of fear among individuals and peoples, and famous fears throughout human history.
