Download or read book Be Very Afraid written by Robert Wuthnow and published by OUP USA. This book was released on 2010-04-07 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines the human response to existential threats--once a matter for theology, but now looming before us in multiple forms. Nuclear weapons, pandemics, global warming: each threatens to destroy the planet, or at least to annihilate our species. Freud, Wuthnow notes, famously taught that the standard psychological response to an overwhelming danger is denial. In fact, Wuthnow argues, the opposite is true: we seek ways of positively meeting the threat, of doing something--anything--even if it's wasteful and time-consuming. It would be one thing if our responses were merely pointless, Wuthnow observes, but they can actually be harmful.--From publisher description.

Book excerpt: This book will make your blood boil. It is the almost unbelievable account of Christchurch businessman Dave Henderson's five year battle with the Inland Revenue Department. It tells of a government department that is out of control, with little respect for the law and common decency. What started as a routine GST tax return, seeking a sizeable refund, turned into a nightmare. The IRD assessed Mr Henderson's company for a million dollars, refused to explain the basis for the assessments and drove him into bankruptcy. Determined to resist the IRD's bullying tactics, Dave Henderson withstood its continued efforts to drive him further under. This book tells that story. It describes, in graphic detail, the actions, evasions and convolutions practised by a department with almost limitless resources and no-one to monitor its behaviour.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a time where we seem more afraid than ever. The rise of populism, polarization and aggression in politics, the media and popular culture, and the climate crisis have coincided with the collapse of previously cherished norms and expectations about economic stability, community life, and even the future of the planet. And all this before the pandemic struck. No wonder we are overwhelmed by anxiety. Popular speaker, storyteller and activist Gareth Higgins exposes the root causes of fear and shows how we can break its power through life-giving stories, simple spiritual exercises and practical steps to take as individuals and communities. He contends that it’s time to tell ourselves new stories about the world in which we live, stories that will liberate the greater forces of love, courage and joy. Reflecting on his experience of growing up during the Troubles in Ireland, he shares authentic wisdom that can enable us not only to find calm in the storm, but even to calm the storm itself.
