In an era marked by war, economic turmoil, mass migration, and natural disasters, anxiety and fear pervade our lives, regardless of where we live.
Attempts to suppress these feelings with distractions like the Internet, work, or tranquilizers provide only temporary relief. The faster we run from fear, the stronger and more obsessive it becomes.

Vadim Dekhtyar provides the answer in his remarkable book, “Conquering Fear” a unique work that stands apart from any other on the topic.
