Download or read book The Art of Fear written by Kristen Ulmer and published by Harper Wave. This book was released on 2017-06-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revolutionary guide to acknowledging fear and developing the tools we need to build a healthy relationship with this confusing emotion—and use it as a positive force in our lives. We all feel fear. Yet we are often taught to ignore it, overcome it, push past it. But to what benefit? This is the essential question that guides Kristen Ulmer’s remarkable exploration of our most misunderstood emotion in The Art of Fear. Once recognized as the best extreme skier in the world (an honor she held for twelve years), Ulmer knows fear well. In this conversation-changing book, she argues that fear is not here to cause us problems—and that in fact, the only true issue we face with fear is our misguided reaction to it (not the fear itself). Rebuilding our experience with fear from the ground up, Ulmer starts by exploring why we’ve come to view it as a negative. From here, she unpacks fear and shows it to be just one of 10,000 voices that make up our reality, here to help us come alive alongside joy, love, and gratitude. Introducing a mindfulness tool called “Shift,” Ulmer teaches readers how to experience fear in a simpler, more authentic way, transforming our relationship with this emotion from that of a draining battle into one that’s in line with our true nature. Influenced by Ulmer’s own complicated relationship with fear and her over 15 years as a mindset facilitator, The Art of Fear will reconstruct the way we react to and experience fear—empowering us to easily and permanently address the underlying cause of our fear-based problems, and setting us on course to live a happier, more expansive future.

Download or read book The Mountain of My Fear Deborah written by and published by The Mountaineers Books. This book was released on 2012-02-23 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CLICK HERE to download the first chapter from The Mountain of My Fear and Deborah * Two classic mountaineering adventures, in one beautiful volume! * Part of The Mountaineers Books "Legends and Lore" series for climbers, armchair mountaineers, and readers of classic adventure literature The publication of The Mountain of My Fear in 1968 and Deborah in 1970 changed the face of the mountaineering narrative. Now these two classic expedition narratives by acclaimed writer David Roberts are together again in one volume for a new generation of readers. Deborah is the story of Roberts's 1964 expedition with fellow Harvard Mountaineering Club member Don Jensen to the eastern side of Mount Deborah in Alaska. Their two-man attempt on the then-unclimbed ridge was a rash and heroic effort. The story tells not only what happened on the mountain, but what happened in the stark isolation to the climbers and their friendship, as each became totally dependent on the other for survival. In The Mountain of My Fear Roberts and Jensen come together again only a year after the Deborah climb. In this account, they and two other Harvard students attempt an ascent of Mount Huntington, for the first time via its treacherous west face. The summit had been reached only the year before, via one of its less dangerous ridges. The story is one of a magnificent achievement. But it is also the story of how a perfect adventure can turn into tragedy in a single instant. Mountaineers, lovers of adventure literature, David Roberts fans, and non-climbers who simply enjoy a good story will value this pairing, by a great climber and a great writer, of two dramatic and enlightening works. This title is part of our LEGENDS AND LORE series. Click here > to learn more.

Download or read book Why Should I Fear written by Laurel E Franks Roberts and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2024-10-17 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change, poverty, war, food and water scarcity, inflation, pandemics, artificial intelligence—the list of world issues seems endless. And each news story contributes to our feelings of anxiety and insecurity. On top of external uncertainties are the fears we carry within—fears of failure, rejection, isolation, and loneliness, fears of injury and death. What is to prevent us from being swallowed up by the concerns of this world and our individual spirits? Where is help to be found? Why Should I Fear? demonstrates that we can face and conquer fear of all sorts by considering Biblical stories and remembering the ways in which God has helped people in the past including persecution, military conflict, familial abuse, famine, deception, discouragement, rejection, natural disaster, illness, and death. In the face of what seem like intolerable events and crushing personal conditions we can discover--just as surely as Biblical people discovered--that God is trustworthy to work in our lives and that we can have hope. Historical and geographical context helps connect ancient narratives to present times, making the reflections relevant to twenty-first century readers. Readers are encouraged to consider the credibility of Biblical history and to understand that the events and people represented in the Bible existed in real time and in real places. Consequently, readers can trust that the God of the Bible is as real now as then, and continues to work in our world. If you are plagued by worry, if world news frightens or depresses you, Why Should I Fear? promises to speak courage and comfort into your life. And while each reflection might not speak to your personal fear, the author trusts that through the stories of difficulty and challenge, the sovereignty of God will shine and speak directly to any reader’s heart.

Download or read book The Nature of Fear written by Daniel T. Blumstein and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Open Letters Review Best Book of the Year A leading expert in animal behavior takes us into the wild to better understand and manage our fears. Fear, honed by millions of years of natural selection, kept our ancestors alive. Whether by slithering away, curling up in a ball, or standing still in the presence of a predator, humans and other animals have evolved complex behaviors in order to survive the hazards the world presents. But, despite our evolutionary endurance, we still have much to learn about how to manage our response to danger. For more than thirty years, Daniel Blumstein has been studying animals’ fear responses. His observations lead to a firm conclusion: fear preserves security, but at great cost. A foraging flock of birds expends valuable energy by quickly taking flight when a raptor appears. And though the birds might successfully escape, they leave their food source behind. Giant clams protect their valuable tissue by retracting their mantles and closing their shells when a shadow passes overhead, but then they are unable to photosynthesize, losing the capacity to grow. Among humans, fear is often an understandable and justifiable response to sources of threat, but it can exact a high toll on health and productivity. Delving into the evolutionary origins and ecological contexts of fear across species, The Nature of Fear considers what we can learn from our fellow animals—from successes and failures. By observing how animals leverage alarm to their advantage, we can develop new strategies for facing risks without panic.
