Seven faces, one root
The Seven Faces of Fear
How fear built our choices, our relationships and our lives.
There is a force you never see and that, even so, bends almost everything you do. You do not feel it as fear. You feel it as good sense when you do not risk, as responsibility when you stay, as love when you sacrifice yourself. It always has a beautiful name, and that is its greatest talent: passing for virtue so as never to be recognised.

The question the book asks
What it is
This is not a book about conquering fear. To conquer presupposes an enemy on the outside, and fear is not in front of you like an obstacle: it is beneath you, like the ground, so present that you stopped noticing it. It does not organise only the moments when you tremble. It organises the whole days in which you feel perfectly calm and, even so, always choose the known over the possible. Seeing is the one thing fear does not know how to do to itself, and that is why it lasts so long.

This book is for you if
- You almost always choose the safe thing, and you call it good sense.
- You are tired of being strong, of holding everything on your own.
- You repeat patterns you recognise but cannot trace to their source.
- You say "this is just how I am" and no longer know how much of it is really you.
