WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF : A BODY/MIND GUIDE TO COURAGOUS LIVING
Book ID/图书代码： 11160004B03885
English Summary/英文概要： Fear is not just in our heads-it’s also in our bodies. What Are You Afraid Of? shows how our bodily postures and habits trigger the anxieties that crimp our daily lives, and provides simple, eye-opening exercises to free us from fear’s grip.
We often think of fear as something based in our minds. But equally true-and rarely understood-is that fear is based in our bodies.
The ordinary manner in which we carry ourselves physically, our automatic gestures, and the accustomed comforts of our bodily habits often perpetuate the grip that fear has on our lives. This is true whether we’re thinking of asking our boss for a raise, frightened of diving into a swimming pool, or experiencing sleepless anxiety. The good news is that our fears arise from physical/mental triggers that have been learned over the course of our early lives-and can be unlearned.
In What Are You Afraid Of?, Lavinia Plonka provides step-by-step exercises and informative, engaging lessons to help readers identify the sources of their fears and work with their bodies to move beyond them. Plonka reveals a simple, new paradigm for understanding our fears: They are not intractable psychological demons. Instead, as she demonstrates, they often revolve around repetitive body/mind cues. By teaching the body new habits, the habit of fear can be broken.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 人们一般都知道，害怕的根子在思想里。很少有人知道，害怕的根子也在身体里。作者指出，我们一些习惯性的动作和姿势，使得害怕能牢牢控制我们的生活。比如你想去要求老板加工资时，害怕潜入游泳池底时，或担心整夜失眠时，都会有一些你未注意的习惯动作和姿势。这是你早年的生活中养成的习惯。然而，它们是可以改变的。本书告诉你如何识别和纠正这些动作和姿势，让害怕远离你的生活。
