  • This is seriously a book that EVERYBODY needs to read. Even if you don't agree with everything in it or disagree with his ideas about evolutionary psychology, it will cause you to totally rethink how you make your decisions from day to day. If everybody read this, the marketers of fear, from the government to the advertisers to the lobbyists, would not hold the grasp on us that they do.

  • Know the Human Animal, know yourself, know your society.

  • Ask a veitnam sniper who conducted operations behind enime lines alone, If he didnt have fear.If he tell ya he didnt, he lying.HELL yes he has fears he just learned how to control it and focus on the job.Fear is hardwired to all, even animal have fear.

    every human on this earth has fear.

  • His book literally changed my perception on life. Every faucet of it. It's excellent AND very easy to read. I'd encourage every westerner to get it.

  • Does anyone else find it strange that here in the UK, Canada and Aus his book was published as 'Risk: The Science and Politics of Fear' but the word 'Politics' was ommitted for the US market?

  • No!! tights and pantyhose all the way for her!!

    bare legs sux

  • maggy should always sit on the right ,wear mini skirts,with no stockings

  • "Author Daniel Gardner says Americans are the healthiest and safest humans in the world..."

    No he didn't - he said "we". Dan is Canadian, and "we" referred to humanity as a whole. Humans are healthier and safer than we have ever been in the history of mankind. Sorry to burst your Ameri-centric point of view CBS.

  • I'm halfway through his book, The Science of Fear, and it's already changed the way I see people interacting, the way I think about the world, and how I feel about statistics from not only the media, but from scientific reports.

    I highly recommend it.
