Award-winning long-form journalist Eva Holland had always felt that her deepest fear was the death of a loved one. When her mother suddenly passes away, she’s sent spiraling into an odyssey of confronting fear itself.

Along with investigating the science of fear, Holland uses herself as a test subject, jumping out of airplanes, rock climbing, and delving into her fears of loss to better understand what her research in the science, medicine, and history of fear reveals. Along the way, Holland meets the scientists who are developing a pill to leech the fear and horror from traumatic memories and seeks out the sufferers of a rare disease that prevents them from ever feeling fear.

She sifts through what we know about the dynamics of how fear spreads in a crowd (and, too often, how it metastasizes into anger and hate). And she applies what she learns to manage her own fears.

A mix of Mary Roach and Cheryl Strayed, Holland explores the universal human questions: Why and how do we feel fear? Why does fear seem to spread through groups and crowds like an airborne virus? And, most importantly, is there a cure for fear - and, if so, is “facing our fears” really that cure?

This is the perfect match between book and narrator. As I’d it were written for her to read!

Interesting book, great narrator

This isn’t an exploration of fear, per se, it’s an exploration of the author’s specific fears...of heights, her mother’s death, losing control, so it wasn’t what I expected. I would have been ok with the content; however, the narrator absolutely ruined it for me. Reading with a combination of snark, condescension, and superiority, she grated on my last nerve.

I’m afraid I didn’t like it very much...
