The End of Fear

Praise

“‘Life is trouble. Only death is not,’ Zorba the Greek reminded us, and part of that trouble is fear. Some scientists credit fear with our earliest survival as humans, for fear made us more vigilant and therefore more likely to survive and reproduce. But fear can also smother, oppress, and overwhelm us. The Schaubs have written a masterpiece for reducing fear and finding balance in one’s life— one of the most elegant, clearest, and effective treatises available.”
— Larry Dossey, M.D., author of The Power of Premonitions

“Into the ever-expanding dialogue about dealing with the fear that is the universal human condition, the Schaubs have gently dropped a startling gem: a warm, personal guide to a new way of being in the world. Their message is one of support and wisdom, presented with such honesty and modesty that the reader is well advised to go back to their understanding counsel again and again. If you thought one small book could not change your life, read The End of Fear . . . and be glad.”
— Richard Grossman, author of Choosing & Changing and The Tao of Emerson

“Using powerful stories, this book is a message for our time. It is a clear and easy-to-read guide for transforming fear into peace.”
— Frank Lipman, M.D., author of SPENT: End Exhaustion and Feel Great Again

“Through Taoist ways of being, ‘fear’ can only be viewed as half of the yin/yang Tai Ji whole. This book is a deeply affecting, personal journey of the authors’ accounts of their transcendence from this human condition. In order to arrive at a balance in life of potential peace and harmony, and to fulfill the wish for love and joy in daily living, we must learn to embrace fear as a moving spiritual path, and see the danger as opportunity in perpetual human growth. The End of Fear is the beginning of wisdom, to guide us in the real world we live in.”
— Chungliang Al Huang, president, Living Tao Foundation; author, Embrace Tiger, Return to Mountain; co-author, Tao: The Watercourse Way

“As spiritual seekers and experienced psychotherapists, the authors take us on a fascinating journey to explore our vulnerability of being human. Through their travels to study art, world religions, and healing, Bonney and Richard weave stories and personal nar-ratives together in this easy-to-read book that brings to the reader profound insights into attaining inner peace and self healing.”
— Susan Luck, R.N., Medical Anthropologist, Director of Earthrose Institute

“The End of Fear is a compelling yet peaceful read that distills some very complex issues down to core points that in turn expand to bring understanding to a universal struggle that all humans face. As a psychiatrist and therapist, it gave me deeper insights into my work, clarifying a number of concerns that I commonly see in my own patients.”
