The
ALL-Win Network presents the book: Fearless. Ordinary People Doing
Extraordinary Things in a World Gripped by Fear.
Fearless is
an exciting novel, which provides valuable insights into the
principles governing the rapid changes we are experiencing today.
These worldwide changes cause fear, weaken people through
stress-related diseases, and invite abuses of power, using fear as a
weapon. Whether we read the story for its heart-warming characters
and the contributions they are each able to make to a culture of
peace, regardless of their background and capacities, or for its
gripping plot, we learn what makes us viable as a species and how we
can apply this to the challenges we face individually.
This
novel has specific recommendations for business people, educators,
statesmen and women, NGOs and others confronted with the challenges
of living in to-day’s rapidly globalizing world. It presents an
anatomy of fear and its resolution--both profoundly complex and yet
compellingly simple once you know where to begin.
Fearless
provides a harrowing account of how fear takes over government
policies and infects the lives of their citizens. Only the powerful
drive to live and thrive can dispel it. But can the compelling
all-win principle stop the epidemic of fear that has most of the
world in its grip?
The story opens in the year 2010 in a
sumptuous mansion on the idyllic Costa Rican shore where Bertram, a
business consultant, Pim, a systems scientist, and Mary and her crew
of young people meet in an out and out attempt to halt the fear
epidemic.
Fear is causing wholesale slaughter in the nation of
Kukundu, gaining momentum in over 100 dictatorships, and securing a
stranglehold on the “free” world. In the background lurk the Masters
of Fear themselves, the Holy Order of the Snake, close to gaining
control of the Planet.
As the narrative leads us from people
working in the underground resistance to people at the U.N., and
from street children to Heads of State, we experience the heights to
which the human spirit can soar and the power available to
“ordinary” people (from young to very old). We also become
acquainted with the tools that we, too, can use to break through the
confines of fear. For there are frightening parallels between the
fear epidemic set in 2010 and today’s world.
Fearless
combines front-line scientific information about the nature of our
universe with fascinating material addressing the deepest recesses
of the human soul. To be read and enjoyed by everyone keen on
knowing what this world -- and we ourselves -- are really
like.
