The fear of life is a silent and false assumption that life is untrustworthy and dangerous that runs in the background of all experience.
The fear of life comes upon almost all of us accidentally at birth, when the shock and violence of our arrival sets the context within which our entire psychology -- all of our understandings, all of our bedrock assumptions, our likes and dislikes, and our sense of identity -- will take form. The fear of life is the cause of all human aggression and self-destructive behavior.
We have just published a revised and updated edition of our ebook The Fear of Life and the Simple Act of Inward Looking that Snuffs it Out.
It is now available as a free download on our website.
