There often comes a moment in people’s lives when full stops fall away. Question marks surface. And commas. Vast yawning commas. This is the point at which the individual becomes a seeker. This is a book for seekers. It encompasses the gamut of questions – restless, fevered, desperate – that have arisen in every seeker’s mind at some point or the other. Questions about fear, desire, suffering, commitment, free will, determinism, God, faith, love, morality, self-deception, doubt, karma, the spiritual path, the mind, the body, disease, healing, madness, death, dissolution. And more. The answers are by Sadhguru, a living master and profound mystic of our times. Unshakably anchored in inner experience, he remains unaffiliated to any organised religious, sectarian or ideological tradition. Forthright, witty, unconventional, provocative, but deeply compassionate, these answers were shared with close disciples over a period of ten years on various occasions.

“Written in words so intimate, calm, kind, and immediate, this extraordinary book feels like a message from our very own heart….Thich Nhat Hanh is one of the most important voices of our time, and we have never needed to listen to him more than now.” —Sogyal Rinpoche Fear is destructive, a pervasive problem we all face. Vietnamese Buddhist Zen Master, poet, scholar, peace activist, and one of the foremost spiritual leaders in the world—a gifted teacher who was once nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Martin Luther King Jr.—Thich Nhat Hanh has written a powerful and practical strategic guide to overcoming our debilitating uncertainties and personal terrors. The New York Times said Hanh, “ranks second only to the Dalai Lama” as the Buddhist leader with the most influence in the West. In Fear: Essential Wisdom for Getting through the Storm, Hanh explores the origins of our fears, illuminating a path to finding peace and freedom from anxiety and offering powerful tools to help us eradicate it from our lives
